Schedule events in Outlook on the web
Whether you're scheduling an appointment for yourself or setting up a meeting, Outlook on the web gives you all the features you need to find the right time for everyone.
As you switch from G Suite Calendar to Outlook, there are a few differences in names to be aware of, like attendees instead of guests or interchanging appointment with event.
Important: When you send an invite in Outlook or OWA, you can choose the status to show for the meeting, such as Busy, Away, etc. However, if you later on make an to update to the invite, the changes to the status won't be made to the attendee's calendar. A new invite will default to the status set by the invitee. Everyone has control of their own status and can be changed at any time. Updates to the meeting won't override a status for an existing meeting.
