Outlook - Create a contact group & Communicate through contact groups (distribution list) Tutorial
In this video, you will learn how to create a contact group and communicate through contact groups, also known as distribution lists, in Microsoft Outlook.
The video demonstrates the steps to create a group of contacts, add members from your Outlook contacts or address book, and even type email addresses directly into the list.
You can use the contact group in messages by simply typing its name in the "To" line.
The video also covers how members of the group can see the addresses of other members in the "To" line and how to hide recipient names using the blind carbon copy (BCC) field.
Additionally, the video explains how to view or edit the list of members, add or remove members, and share the contact group with others.
Creating contact groups can be very useful, especially when associated with an email account, as they can be accessed from anywhere, including Outlook Online.
This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to creating and using contact groups in Microsoft Outlook, enhancing your communication efficiency.

Introduction to Contact Groups in Outlook
Contact groups in Outlook allow users to save time when sending messages to a frequent group of recipients. Instead of typing each email address, users can simply enter the name of the contact group, streamlining communication. -
Creating a Contact Group
To create a contact group, follow these steps: 1. Click on the 'People' module in Outlook. 2. Choose the contacts folder where you want to save the group. 3. Click on 'New Contact Group'. 4. If the 'New Contact Group' option is unavailable, try a different contacts folder. 5. Type a name for your contact group. 6. Click 'Add Members' to include contacts from your Outlook contacts or address book, or create a Messenger contact. 7. Ensure 'Name Only' is selected, then select names from the list and click 'Members' to add them. 8. To select multiple names, hold the Shift or Control key while clicking. 9. You can also type email addresses directly or copy names from other sources, such as an email message. 10. Once finished, click 'OK' to add the names and addresses to the group. -
Saving and Using the Contact Group
After adding members, click 'Save and Close'. The contact group will now appear in your list of folders. To use the group in a message: - Type the name of the contact group in the 'To' line of your email. - You can click the plus sign to view all members or leave it as is and click 'Send'. - Recipients will see the addresses of other members in the 'To' line, similar to manual entry. - If you prefer to keep recipient names hidden, use the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) field. -
Editing and Managing Contact Groups
You can always double-click on the contact group in the contacts folder to view or edit the list of members. To manage the group: - Add members by selecting them and clicking 'Add'. - Remove members by selecting them and pressing 'Remove Member'. - To delete the entire group, click 'Delete Group'. -
Sharing Contact Groups
To share a contact group with a colleague, use the 'Forward Group' option. You can send the group as an Outlook contact. If contact files are blocked by the recipient's email system, select 'In Internet Format' to send the group as a text file. Recipients can then drag the attached file into their contacts folder. -
Practical Applications of Contact Groups
Contact groups are particularly useful for managing communications associated with specific email accounts. They can be accessed from different computers using Outlook Online, allowing for seamless communication across devices. -
Conclusion
Creating and managing contact groups in Outlook enhances efficiency in communication. By following the outlined steps, users can easily send messages to multiple recipients, edit group members, and share contact groups, ultimately improving their productivity.
