Office 365 - Shared Contacts?
davebeller I've never used it, but in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under 'Users' there a company wide Contact section. Might be too wide spread for what you want though.
Robin Nilsson That would possibly work, if I had access to it. I'm just an end-user. And I can't seem to get IT to call me back. I've been exploring Planner and the cool stuff that can be done in there (along with all of the 365 apps) and it's so odd that what seems like a basic thing is unavailable. And, in all the sites that have info on sharing contacts within Outlook, show illustrations of features in an Outlook ribbon that aren't in mine (like the Sharing tab that creates an email invite). This would be a good workaround, at least. Then, as I make updates to contacts, it'b be updated for everyone. I guess I need to really hit up IT support. 🙄. Thank you for replying!!
- Bummer. I've never looked at contacts in Outlook - we're still On Premise. But I do see the Share Contacts you were talking about - I went to the People tab (on premise its at the bottom of the page), and then I see My Contacts - I can right click on that and share with others - it creates the email invite that others can redeem so they can see your contact list. Surprised you don't see it. I tried Outlook on a Mac and can bring up my contacts, but there I right click it to share with others.
You're right, not obvious at all. Sounds like more Google time!- Ha! Yes, Google! I really want to like 365 but they don't make it easy!
