There you go, now you know how to copy meetings in Outlook in a very simple and fast way! :wink:

Just a note: some people, instead of copying and pasting the meeting, simply edit the meeting time (for the new time) and send an update to everyone. This works (for the purpose of the new meeting), but the history of when each meeting was held is lost.

And that was today’s tip: Copying a meeting in Outlook is a great tip to save time and avoid creating a new meeting from scratch.
