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?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Not having a share button for a contact list seems like a massive oversight and an easy fix. What gives?
What is also frustrating is that while you can share a contact list from old Outlook, you are only able to share it as card or instance.
You can't collaborate on a contact list in any meaningful, real time way.
So if you, as a team, share a contact list that you are building or changing over time, it's an absolute pain.
Having this same issue. I had to work around this whole issue by creating (and paying for) a Google Workspace account, put the contacts there, then share that login to my entire team. Ridiculous that I have to have a paid workaround to such a basic feature.
This is a constant issue with microsoft all their tutorials and help guides, in my experience, point to buttons, menus and places that no longer exist in the versions available.
Correct it's not available in the new outlook and I've just learned you can no longer have shared contacts in a public folder and share that way either. So both options are non-functional as of now which for my org makes it unusable in general.
