Outlook groups
An Outlook group is a group that can be created in Microsoft 365 that brings together a group of people into a central group inbox for collaborating, such as sending and receiving emails. When you create the group, a shared workspace with SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 apps will also be created. Do not confuse an Outlook group, also referred to as a Microsoft 365 group, with a contact group or distribution list, which was explained in Chapter 7, Contacts in Outlook.
Creating an Outlook group
If you do not see the New Group button on the Home tab ribbon on the Peoples pane, then you will need to talk with your IT department and have them enable the group feature for your organization. Then, take the following steps:
- Open the contacts or select the People button on the navigation pane.
- Click Home | New Group, fill in the desired fields in the Create Group window, then click Create.
