Calendar - Do you set your working location?

Working from home is common these days, so it is beneficial to let your colleagues know when you're in the office and when you're working remotely.

This can be done through Outlook or Teams, and it will appear on your Calendar in both apps - as well as in Microsoft Places.

Setting your working location

1. Open the settings in your preferred app:
   • Teams: Go to Calendar | Calendar Settings | Work hours and location
   • Classic Outlook: Go to File | Options | Calendar | Work hours and location
   • New Outlook & Outlook on the web: Go to Settings | Calendar | Work hours and location
2. If you haven't already, set your working days and hours - as per Calendar - Do you set your work hours in CRM and your Outlook calendar?
3. Select Office or Remote for each of your working days
4. Tick Show work location on my calendar
5. Under Share your location, select Can view general location
