You can update your team (Microsoft 365 Group) in Outlook through the Outlook desktop application. Here's how:
-
Open the Outlook Desktop App: Launch the Outlook application on your computer.
-
Navigate to Your Group: In the navigation pane on the left-hand side, look for the "Groups" section. Select the specific group you want to update. If you don't see the Groups section, make sure you're using a Microsoft 365 account and that Groups are enabled for your organization.
-
Access Group Settings: With your group selected, look for the "Group Settings" button in the top ribbon (usually under the "Home" tab or a dedicated "Group" tab). Then, select "Edit Group."
-
Adjust Group Settings: The "Edit Group" window allows you to modify various settings, including:
- Name: Change the group's name.
- Description: Update the group's description.
- Privacy: Choose between "Public" (anyone in the organization can see the content) or "Private" (only members can see the content).
- Send all group conversations and events to members' inboxes: Determine whether group emails and events are sent to individual member inboxes.
- Members: Add or remove members from the group. To manage members, within the group window in Outlook, look for a "Members" option, often next to "Conversations," "Files," and "Calendar." Here, you can add new members by searching for their names or email addresses, or remove existing members.
- Owners: Add or remove owners. Owners have greater control over the group settings and membership.
-
Save Your Changes: After making your desired adjustments, click "Save" or "OK" to apply the changes.
Updating your team in Outlook primarily involves managing the group's settings and membership through the Outlook desktop application. These settings allow for controlling the privacy and mail settings of the group, as well as managing its members and owners.
