we're in Microsoft Outlook 2016 and I'm
going to show you how to create a group
a group allows us to send an email or
create a meeting request to multiple
people at once so you don't go into
every individual person to make those
requests or send those emails so we've
got a couple of people in our contacts
group right now or a contacts list I
should say let's go ahead and click on
new contact group at the top and this is
going to be our business associates so
that's going to be the name of our group
and now we're going to go ahead and
click on add members and we're going to
choose from our Outlook contacts if you
have other address books you can choose
those as well so let's go ahead and
click Outlook contacts and you can see
there's our two contacts that we created
earlier that I just showed you so just
highlight both of those and then click
on members then click ok so now we can
see that these people are here and we
can go ahead and save and close it and
now it shows up with our business
associates group which includes our two
users so let's go ahead and double click
on the group and if we want to add it or
send an email to those all at once we
click on email and you can see that it's
going to send to the business associates
and if we click OK to expand it we can
see there's our two emails let's go
ahead and close that
very good we can also do the same thing
with the meeting so click on meeting and
it's going to our business associates
and of course that's our two users as
well so you can send to a group of
people all at once now this only exists
in your Outlook this does not exist on
the server itself so if for some reason
you lose your Outlook account of course
your groups and your contacts could go
away so be sure to back them up alright
so that is how you create and edit a
group in Microsoft Outlook 2016
