Create a Microsoft 365 group

In classic Outlook, a Microsoft 365 Group lets you choose a set of people and work together with them by using resources such as a shared Outlook inbox, shared calendar, or a document library for collaborating on files.

1. In  Mail, select Home > New Group. 

   If you don't see New Group, your admin might not have enabled Groups for your organization. Contact your admin for more info.  

2. Fill out the Group name. An email address is created that you can use as-is or you can edit it. If the address already exists, you'll see "Not available."

3. Add a Description and additional info and select Create.

For more info on creating Microsoft 365 groups, see Create a group in Outlook.

Tip: If, instead, you'd like to make a contact group, see Create a contact group.
