Note: If you select a date and time in the calendar, the date and time you selected are automatically entered in a new appointment window.
Add the event name in New Event.
Select Scheduling Assistant.
In Add required invitee type the invitee's name and select them from the list of contacts. Repeat for all participants.
Find a time and date that everyone is available and select it.
Select Done.
For a recurring meeting, select Does not repeat, then from the drop-down menu, select how often you would like to repeat the meeting.
Select Add a location or for an online meeting, select either the Skype or Teams meeting button.

Select Send.

At the bottom of the navigation pane, select Calendar.
On the Home tab, select Meeting.
To send the invitation from an account that isn't your default account, select an account from the From list.
