-
Open Outlook on the web.
-
In the navigation pane, next to New contact, select New group.
-
In Choose a name, enter a group name that briefly captures the spirit of the group. Click Create.
-
A suggested group ID is provided. To assign a different name to your group which will be part of the group URL, click Edit
next to the Group ID box.If you see "not available," the group ID is already in use. Try something different. Note that once you choose a group ID, it cannot be changed.

In Add a description, enter a detailed description of the group to help others understand its purpose. This description will be included in the welcome email when others join the group.

In Privacy, do one of the following:
-
To create a group in which anyone within your organization can view its content and become a member, select Public.
-
To create a group in which membership requires approval by a group owner and only members can view group content, select Private.
-
-
To enable subscribed members to receive email and calendar event notifications in both their group inbox and personal inbox, select Subscribe members so they receive group conversations and calendar events in their inbox. This is recommended when members belong to multiple groups because it means they can see all group notifications in one place without having to visit each group mailbox in order to stay current with group activity.

Select Create.

If you're ready to add members to your newly created group (you aren't able to add external users at this time), continue with the create group wizard. Otherwise, select Not now. You can always come back and add group members later.
