Answer 1

Dear Emily Kramer1,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

Based on your description, I understand that you have a query "Shared Calendar."

I believe, there is a way to set the default reminder for a shared calendar in Outlook for Windows. By default, when you create a new appointment or event in Outlook, it does not automatically set a reminder. However, you can customize the default reminder settings for your shared calendar to ensure that reminders are automatically added to all new appointments.

To set the default reminder for a shared calendar in Outlook for Windows, follow these steps: Open Outlook and navigate to the Calendar view > On the left-hand side of the screen, locate and right-click on the shared calendar you want to modify > From the context menu that appears, select "Properties." > In the Calendar Properties window, go to the "General" tab > Under the "Default reminders" section, click on the drop-down menu next to "Reminder time." > Choose the desired default reminder time from the available options or select "Custom" to set a specific reminder time> If you selected "Custom," enter the desired reminder time in minutes in the text box provided > Click "OK" to save your changes.

I hope the above information will be helpful. Please feel free to let me know if there are any updates or if I've got you wrong. If still have any concern, please let me know so I can provide further suggestion.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation. Thanks for your precious time!
