sharing contact lists should be easy right?

I'm hoping someone out there can help me sort this out finally...

Our org has a group of members, all external to our organization (none have an org domain name email), who we all email on a regular basis. I have created a "contact list" through the people tab in Outlook, and added all those contacts to the list. My question is very simple...

How do I share that contact list with my coworkers?

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    My outlook looks nothing like yours. I believe we're on different versions.

    Thank you, Rae! I was able to share my contact list with my manager. It's ridiculous they haven't resolved this issue yet.

    I am not 100% sure if this will work or not, but if you have admin access or know someone with admin access you may be able to use public folders to share contacts between you and your coworkers.

    I think this is indicative of large American organisations. They're using their customers to see if we think it works and then ignoring it when it doesn't fit with their view of how offices work. You had a great piece of software now being minimised and ruined by probably younger people who really don't want to think about places that are more traditional and not leading edge. Yep leave us dinosaurs to manage with the mess that office 365 is. Don't even get me started at the online word which is completely unusable for high quality document production.

    Still no response, and I found another thread from 2022 that had the same issue. Just like it took them 5 years to fix folders not collapsing after expanding them in the mobile app........at lease they got that fixed late last year.....
