Set Work Hours In Outlook

20 hours ago  Setting your work hours on Outlook ensures that anyone viewing your calendar knows your available working hours. This way, appointments, and meetings are set. By default, in Outlook, the Work Week is set from Monday to Friday, and the Work Day Hours are from 8 A.M. Also the Week begins with Sunday. In Outlook though, if we work different Days or Hours, or our Week Day begins with a different Day, we can change all of them and set them to what we prefer.

In outlook, you can define work hours, which prevents meetings to be set up after work for some of the east coast team. In outlook, the schedules reflect work hours but Teams does not. I prefer setting up meetings in teams, but it looks like that is not an option.

Now close and reopen Microsoft Teams and the working hours should have been updated. The Outlook desktop app (I use MacOS) will not sync the settings unfortunately.

To change your working days and working times in Outlook, do the following:

1. On the File tab, click the Options button:

Set Work Hours In OutlookSet Work Hours In OutlookHours

2. In the Outlook Options dialog box, on the Calendar tab,under Work time:

  • Modify Work hours
  • Select workdays by checking of days
  • Choose First day of week and, if it needed, First week of year

For example:

To verify the new settings, create a meeting request, and click the Scheduling Assistant.It will show the updated work hours and display Monday as a non-working day for you. However,only Exchange users get the full benefits of work time settings because it allows other usersto check this information in the Scheduling Assistant.

Average Work Hours

In the Calendar module of Microsoft Outlook and when you use the Scheduling Assistant, some calendars of shared mailboxes or rooms display working hours as having a grey background while other calendars display working hours as having a white background. This issue occurs while Outlook is connected to Microsoft Exchange Server. In other clients, such as Outlook Web App (OWA), the working hours of all calendars are displayed as white.

More information

This behavior is expected if the following conditions are true:

  • Outlook is connected to a newer version of Microsoft Exchange Server that hosts mailboxes and calendars.
  • The working hours of the client and the mailbox are in the same time zone.Outlook cannot yet handle all the new elements that are used by newer versions of Exchange Server. These elements include WeekDays, WeekendDays, and AllDays.For more information about the new elements in Exchange Server, see [DaysOfWeek Enumeration](/previous-versions/office/developer/exchange-server-2010/ff343675(v=exchg.140).
