how to create a group in outlook

To create a group in Outlook, you can follow these general steps depending on the version you use:

1. Open Outlook and go to the "People" or "Contacts" area.
2. Click on "New Contact Group" or "New Contact List".
3. Name your group.
4. Click "Add Members" to add contacts from your Outlook contacts, address book, or by entering new email contacts.
5. After adding the desired members, click "Save & Close".

For Microsoft 365 Groups (usually via Outlook on the web or admin interface):

• Sign into Outlook on the web.
• Select "Groups" on the left, then click "New Group".
• Fill in the group name, email address, description, and privacy settings (public or private).
• Add members and then create the group.

These steps apply to Outlook versions such as Outlook 365, 2013, 2016, and also Outlook for Mac with slight UI differences. Microsoft 365 Groups require a subscription and may need admin permissions. After creation, you can use the group name in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields when composing emails to easily send messages to the entire group at once.
