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

    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.

    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.

    Not having a share button for a contact list seems like a massive oversight and an easy fix. What gives?

    I found a way to do this in "Old Outlook"

    New Message > Insert > ...More > Include > Business Card

    I like that the Microsoft reps are ghosting everyone who asks about this.
