Hey there, Mimi Enea

When you create a new event in the new Outlook calendar, you should see the recuring option next to the date

Do you see the same window as me (in the first image)?

Thanks,

Thanks Nathan, but my version doesn't look the same

There is only an option to open "Scheduler" which does not have the option to make it recurring

You're welcome, Mimi Enea

It took me a bit of time to find it too, as your interface is different to my interface (even when I log into the Outlook calendar using my organisational account). It wasn't until I looked for the symbol, I noticed where it was.

Although, it looks as though it is in the same place as where it was on the old classic Outlook.

Anyway, glad you have found it 😎

Happy New Year,
Nathan
