This video is gonna walk you through how you can add calendar appointments to Outlook quickly and easily. So the simplest thing to do is just pick a time. Just use your scroll bar on your mouse to pick a time. Say I want to have a meeting at four o'clock tomorrow, Tuesday and 16th of June, I just click in there and just start typing, okay? So if I start typing meeting and then press Enter, that is now an appointment in my calendar, okay? As you can see, 16th of June 2020, 4:00 to 4:30. And it'll give me a reminder 15 minutes beforehand. If you want to add more details to it, okay, I can double click, the appointment opens up, and then I can add more details. I can add location. So I might say home, okay? I don't have to specify a time at all. I could make it an all-day meeting. Just look what happens when I do this. So if I press All Day and save and close, it no longer sits in a time slot down here. It sits at the very, very top. Okay, and I've actually got a reminder, a period here as well, saying that in eight hours time, there's this new event happening. I'm gonna dismiss that. Okay, let's open it up again. Double click. So I don't want it to be all day. I want it to go back to, I'll make it from 10:30 to 11. Something else I might want to do, maybe it is a, I don't know, some sort of committee meeting or weekly meeting.

Okay? If it's a weekly meeting and it's gonna be at the same place every single time, so probably gonna be the office in this case, then we might want to make it a recurring meeting. And I don't think we're gonna get away with half an hour for this either. So we need at least an hour. So let's make it recurring. If you click on there, we've going a one-hour meeting. Recurrence pattern, weekly. Recurs every week on a particular day of the week. You have full control over this by the way. You can set the start and end range of the recurrence. You can set the number of recurrences in there as well, and you can also have no end date if you want to. And that just means it will always appear every Tuesday for one hour in your diary. Then just hit Okay. Save and close. Okay, now if I expand my view from week to month now, you'll see that the weekly meeting has appeared every week in the future. Something else you might want to do, of course, is invite other people. So if you want to invite somebody, again, you can select it and just go to invite attendees. Okay? And you can invite them either to the occurrence or the series. Another thing you can do is just double click on it as well. Oops, sorry. Double click. If you double click, it'll ask you, do you want to open just that one event or the entire series? I'm gonna answer open up the entire series. And again, we can invite attendees in here as well. And you're just gonna type in the name of the people you want to come along. And then those that you definitely want to be there in the Required box. Those who might be interested, but aren't essential in the Optional box, of course. And then hit Send. Okay? So we can see who's that's gone to. So then you have the participants now appearing in the appointment. So that's just how to add appointments. It's relatively straightforward. Just like emails, you can make them high importance, low importance as well. You can give them different categories and so on. Another way to add meetings to your calendar is directly from your inbox. Let's say you receive an email from somebody saying something like, "Let's catch up tomorrow." What you can do is just click and drag that straight to your calendar. The title of the meeting will be taken from the subject header of the email. You'll have to fill in some of the other details as well like location, where to be confirmed maybe. You might want to change the times as well or even make it longer or shorter, what have you. There's been details in the actual body of the email. They'll all be captured in your appointment, which makes it super easy and useful. Then all you have to do is hit Save and close. Just bear in mind, if you do do it this way and you click on the calendar, you may think, "Well, where's the meeting?" Okay? What you might have to do is click on another calendar. It may have gone into another calendar instead, okay? Now, that's all right. If you've only got one calendar, of course, it will always be in the right one. If you haven't, it may appear in the wrong one. But that's easy. All you need to do is click and drag it and it will move the appointment or copy the appointments to your other calendars as well. And similarly, if you want to change the times, if I want to move this appointment later or early in the day, I can either double click it or I can literally click and drag it. And that will also change the time of the appointment as well. So that's how you add and move appointments in Outlook.
