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

    I haven't scrolled through all of the comments here, so I'm not sure if this was ever resolved. In case it's helpful, though, I was just able to share a contact list in Outlook by choosing the "Forward Contact" option after selecting the list I wanted to share (NOT the "Share Contacts" option - I was trying to use that, and ended up here b/c I couldn't make it work). Then, I selected "As an Outlook Contact". This created an email with the contact list as an attachment that I could then forward to colleagues.

    My daughter has been telling me for years to let go of Outlook. Time is getting close. For now, I'm going back to Outlook - Classic. Tired of fooling with this ridiculous junk. Going to start looking for alternatives --- just in case the Classic is indeed allowed to die!

    Whilst it gets information out it creates more work as someone has to manually put this into their contacts. Might as well take a snip and email it. Another fudge. Microsoft really are doing so badly with the 365. Nothing works, particularly if you manage a number of Executive Diaries and inboxes. You have to switch between the online version and the app to do what you need to.

    No idea where the "share contacts" option is on the individual contact. Only have export contacts. This used to work so seamlessly being in control of a committee and sharing updates to the membership. Now it's clunky and not user friendly.
