Hello 

Please I need your help on this issue. 

I want to share my to do list in Outlook to internal members of my Team.

I would like to know how to share TO DO lists in Outlook with my internal Teams members.

I am also confused with the difference between TASKS and To Do lists.

I was able to share my to-do list with my end user on outlook. But when they click on the link they get the error message

    To share your to-do list in Outlook with internal members of your team, you can use the Tasks feature in Outlook. Here's how you can do it:

    Open Outlook and navigate to the Tasks section.

    Create a new task or select an existing task that you want to share.

    Once you have the task selected, look for the "Assign Task" option. This might be located in different places depending on your version of Outlook, but typically you can find it in the task window toolbar or by right-clicking on the task.

    Click on "Assign Task" and enter the email addresses of the internal team members you want to share the task with.

    Optionally, you can set due dates, reminders, and other details before sending the task assignment.

    Click "Send" to share the task with your team members.

    Now, regarding the difference between Tasks and To-Do Lists in Outlook:

    Tasks: Tasks in Outlook are essentially actionable items that you need to complete. They can have due dates, reminders, priorities, and other details associated with them. Tasks are typically used for managing your own workload and tracking your progress on specific activities.

    To-Do Lists: To-Do Lists in Outlook are similar to tasks but are more informal and flexible. They are often used for creating lists of items that you need to remember or accomplish. To-Do Lists can contain various tasks grouped together under specific categories or projects.

    If your end users are encountering errors when clicking on the link to view your shared to-do list, it could be due to permissions or settings issues. Make sure that the recipients have the necessary permissions to access the shared list, and double-check the sharing settings in Outlook to ensure everything is configured correctly. If the issue persists, you may need to troubleshoot further or consult with your IT department for assistance.
