How to Set Work Hours and Location in Outlook on Windows 11

Setting your work hours and location in the updated Outlook app on Windows 11 lets coworkers see your schedule and know whether you work from the office or home. Office 365 and Microsoft 365 accounts use these specific details to show your daily availability, making it easier to plan meetings without guessing when you are free.

You can set your exact start and end times for each day of the week, plus pick specific days to work remotely or on-site. These details automatically show up in calendar invites so everyone knows the best time and place to reach you.

Set your hours and location in Outlook

Letting teammates know your physical location or remote status cuts down on scheduling conflicts. People understand your availability at a glance once this profile data goes live. Updating your status takes only a few moments.

Here is the procedure for updating these settings.

Launch Outlook from the Start menu or taskbar search box 🔍.

Click the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner of the menu bar.

Select Calendar from the left menu in the Settings pane. Click 'Work hours and location' under the 'View' side panel next.

Pick your workdays, hours, and location using the checkboxes.

Save the configuration when finished. Profile cards can take up to 12 hours to reflect these schedule updates.

That completes the process.

Keeping these details current ensures nobody sends a meeting invite when you are offline.
