How to add a large group of emails to a new Outlook group?

If you are using Outlook on the web and are experiencing limitations in adding contacts to a contact group directly from a category list, you might need to use a workaround.

Here's an alternative method:

1. Open Outlook on the web and go to the "People" section.
2. Create a new contact group by clicking on "New" and then selecting "Contact Group."
3. Give your contact group a name.
4. Open a new browser tab and go to your main Outlook on the web page.
5. In this tab, go to "People" and select the category that includes the contacts you want to add to the group.
6. Copy the email addresses of the contacts (you can do this by right-clicking on the selected email addresses and choosing "Copy").
7. Return to the tab where you are creating the contact group and paste the email addresses into the "Members" field manually.
8. After pasting the email addresses, separate them with semicolons (;) if they are not automatically separated.
9. Click "Save" or the equivalent option to save the contact group.

This method involves copying and pasting the email addresses manually from your category list to the contact group, bypassing the absence of a direct option to select contacts from categories in the "Add Members" section on Outlook on the web. The text and steps were edited with the help of AI.
