How to set your Work Hours and Location in Outlook
If you’re using Microsoft 365 for hybrid working, setting your Work Hours and Location in Outlook is one of the simplest ways to make in-person collaboration easier.
It should also be one of the first things you get folk to do if you’re thinking of rolling out Places, but it’s also handy if you’re still using Room Finder.
In this video, I’ll show you how to configure your working hours and where you plan to work – whether that’s home, office, or another location. I also explain why this matters when scheduling face-to-face meetings using tools like Microsoft Places Finder, Room Finder, or other workspace booking platforms that integrate with Microsoft calendaring.
When locations are set properly, colleagues can make smarter decisions about when to meet in person, where to meet, and how to use office space more efficiently.
We’ll also share our free guide to configuring multiple office locations in Microsoft 365, so your organisation can get the most from hybrid scheduling.
