sharing contact lists should be easy right?

Question

I'm hoping someone out there can help me sort this out finally...

Our org has a group of members, all external to our organization (none have an org domain name email), who we all email on a regular basis. I have created a "contact list" through the people tab in Outlook, and added all those contacts to the list. My question is very simple...

How do I share that contact list with my coworkers?

Answer 1

New Year, same problem. Frankly, it is ridiculous that this hasn't been fixed yet. Microsoft - what gives?

Answer 2

I went in and toggled the NEW OUTLOOK button and went back to the old version to send my list. After I sent the list, I went back to the new version. They've been getting feedback for one year now - you'd think they'd have it fixed by now.

Answer 3

I like that the Microsoft reps are ghosting everyone who asks about this.

Answer 4

Having this same issue. I had to work around this whole issue by creating (and paying for) a Google Workspace account, put the contacts there, then share that login to my entire team. Ridiculous that I have to have a paid workaround to such a basic feature.

Answer 5

As someone who also handles multiple diaries, I thought I was the problem. At this point, I'm glad it's Microsoft and not me, but Outlook 365 was very clearly designed for one user who handles their own calendar, contacts, and tasks. Apparently, no one at Microsoft delegates or collaborates
