When you set up a group, you need to choose between a Standard Group (anyone using Outlook in Microsoft 365 at PSU can access by default) and a Professional Learning Community (only approved members can access by default). Next, choose a Group name and email address, then add members.

Set up a Group

PC users may set up Groups through Outlook 2016 (desktop) or Outlook on the Web. Mac users must set up Groups in Outlook on the Web only.

Add or Remove Group Members

You can add members when you first set up your Group but can also invite people later by sending them a link. To add members not using Outlook in Microsoft 365 at Penn State, add them on the group members page and a request for approval is then sent to the Group owner.
