  5. A suggested email address is provided. To assign a different email address to your group which will be part of the group URL, type in a new email address.
  If you see “not available,” the group ID is already in use. Try something different. Note that once you choose a group ID, it cannot be changed.
  6. In "Add a description", enter a detailed description of the group to help others understand its purpose. This description will be included in the welcome email when others join the group.
  7. In "Privacy", do one of the following:
    • To create a group in which anyone within your organization can view its content and become a member, select Public. 
    • To create a group in which membership requires approval by a group owner and only members can view group content, select Private.
  8. To enable subscribed members to receive email and calendar event notifications in both their group inbox and personal inbox, select Send copies of all group messages and events to members’ inboxes. This is recommended when members belong to multiple groups because it means they can see all group notifications in one place without having to visit each group mailbox in order to stay current with group activity.
  9. Select Create.
  10. If you’re ready to add internal members to your newly created group, continue with the create group wizard. Otherwise, select Not now. To add group members later, see Add and remove group members in Outlook.
