00:00:13

Let's start with meetings and meeting invitations

00:00:16

in outlook.

00:00:17

A meeting is an event shared with other people to create one click on new event.

00:00:23

Here, you can add participants choose a location and even set up a team's link.

00:00:28

00:00:34

which makes sense since you will be spending time in a meeting.

this type of event, you can set a time and place for yourself.

00:00:58

You will be marked as busy,

00:01:00

meaning no one can book meetings with you during this slot.

00:01:03

Others will see you as busy.

00:01:05

This type of event can also be used to focus on a task or to plan some time for yourself.

00:01:11

Lastly, events of the reminders type, these do not block your availability.

00:01:17

You can set a date and time but your status will remain available.

00:01:21

It works perfectly for a task.

00:01:23

Like don't forget to take the file at the end of the day or for an all day reminder,

00:01:28

like your colleague's birthday,

00:01:30

it is perfect for keeping track of your tasks

00:01:32

or reminding you of events without blocking your calendar.
