    Groups on the left Nav bar

  5. In the meeting area, type an agenda. If you're setting up a Skype Meeting, be careful not to change any of the online meeting information.

  6. Select Scheduling Assistant on the ribbon to make sure you have the best time for the meeting.

  7. Select Send.

Note: When you edit a group event that was sent to select individuals but not the group, the group will also be added. You can delete the event and resend invitations to those individuals, or make the changes in Outlook on the web.

Open a group calendar

  2. In the navigation pane, under Groups, select your group. If you have multiple calendars open, the events for each will be displayed. Colored tabs across the top indicate which events align to each group.

Add a meeting to a group calendar

Adding a meeting to a group calendar is very similar to adding one to your personal calendar. When you create a meeting on a group calendar, it appears as organized by the group. You're automatically added as an attendee, and the event is added to your personal calendar.

  1. In the group calendar window, select the time at which you'll schedule the meeting.

  2. Enter a meeting title, location, and end time in the details window.

  3. By default, the meeting invitation are not sent to every member's inbox in the group. If you want to invite the group, add the group to the attendees list.

  4. Select Save.

Edit a meeting on a group calendar

  1. From the group calendar, double-click the meeting to open it.

  2. Make the changes you want and select Send.

See who's attending your group meeting

Email notifications such as “Accept,” “Tentative,” and “Decline,” are distracting and can clutter your inbox. When you use a group calendar to schedule your event, you can easily get an at-a-glance view at who's coming, who's not, and who has yet to respond.

  1. From the group calendar, double-click the meeting to open it.

  2. Under Attendees, see the status (Accepted, No response, Tentative, Declined) under each invitee name.

Cancel a group meeting

When a meeting is created on the group calendar, anyone in the group can cancel it.

  1. From the group calendar, double-click the meeting to open it.

  2. Click Cancel and select the appropriate cancellation option.
