How to Use the Calendar and Event Scheduling in Outlook 365 for Mac

After its fall 2020 update, Microsoft Outlook 365 for Mac has two additional views for your calendar, an easier way to RSVP, better options for scheduling events, and a handy new status for invitations. Plus, it's all packed in a more attractive app.

See Your Schedule with My Day

A convenient Microsoft Outlook feature called My Day gives you a quick view of your daily schedule. You can see an Agenda or Day view, and add an event with a click.

To see My Day on the Mail tab, click the Show Task Pane button on the right, or select View > Task Pane from the menu bar. To see it in the other Outlook tabs, click the Show Task Pane button or select View > My Day from the menu bar.

Click View to show My Day or the Task Pane button

To switch between views in My Day, click the three-dot icon at the top right. This allows you to move from "Agenda" to "Day" view, and back again.

Click three dots for Agenda or Day view

You can also select "Settings" from this menu to customize the calendars you want to display.

Change your My Day settings

To add an event when you're in My Day, click the plus sign (+) next to the three-dot icon.

Click the plus sign for a new event in My Day

Use the Three-Day Calendar View

If you want to see more than a single day on your Microsoft Outlook calendar, but a week (or even the workweek) is too much, try a three-day view.

Click the "Calendar" tab to open your Outlook calendar. From there, select the drop-down arrow at the top right or click View > Three Day in the menu bar.

Click View or the drop-down and pick Three Day

RSVP in the Same Window

It's efficient when you can reply to an email within the same window instead of a new one opening automatically. This is why Microsoft added event responses for your calendar in addition to emails.

RSVP in the Reading Pane

When you receive a new event invitation, you can respond in the same ways as before, but now, you can also add a message in the Reading Pane.

As always, you can click "Accept," "Tentative," "Decline," or "Propose New Time." Right above those options, you'll see the box where you can type an optional message to send to the event organizer. Just make sure that if you want to add a message, you do so before you click a response.

RSVP to your event

Schedule Events with Advanced Options

Scheduling events can be tough when you're working around everyone's calendars. With advanced options in Microsoft Outlook, though, you can select a time, check availability, and switch to a different day easily.

To create a new event, click File > New > Event in the menu bar of any Outlook tab. Or, you can click the "Calendar" tab, and then click "New Event" at the top left. You can then add all of your event details on the left.

Click the New Event button

For an easier way to adjust the time, use the calendar grid on the right. Drag the time block wherever you want it, and then expand or collapse it to adjust the time frame.

Add event details using the time block

If you want to keep that time frame but check a different date, use the arrows at the top next to the date. When you land on the day you want using that same time frame, just complete and send your invitation.

Pick a new date for the time block

If you have many invitees, you can also still click "Scheduling Assistant" at the top of the event window to add required and optional invitees, and a location.

Click the Scheduling Assistant button

This allows you to check the availability of multiple attendees at once. You can also drag the time block and use the double-sided arrow to lengthen or shorten the time frame.

Use the Scheduling Assistant

When you're finished with the Scheduling Assistant, just click "Done" at the top left. Any details you added or edited will be applied to the invitation. You'll then be returned to the invitation window, where you can complete anything else you need to do or just click "Send."

Set a Working Elsewhere Status

You're probably used to selecting either the "Busy" or "Free" status whenever you're scheduling events. In the new Microsoft Outlook, though, you now have another option: "Working Elsewhere."

To use it, just click the status button at the top left of the event window, and then select "Working Elsewhere." This lets your attendees know you're joining from another location. It's especially convenient when you're working remotely or traveling.

Click Working Elsewhere

The "Working Elsewhere" status appears with a blue-dotted circle that's similar to "Tentative," which includes a blue-striped circle. This informs others of your status at a glance.

Working Elsewhere indicator

One last new calendar feature for Outlook that's worth mentioning is called Meeting Insights. Based on your event or attendees, Outlook will suggest emails and files for your event. If Meeting Insights are available, you'll see them on a tab next to "Meeting Details" in the event window.

Also, keep in mind that with the new Outlook on Mac, you can still color events with categories in your calendar and display the weather if your event is taking place in another location.

If you use a PC for several hours a day, you might find yourself constantly looking down at your phone for notifications. Why not merge the two platforms? We'll show you how to mirror your Android notifications on a Windows 10 PC.

For this guide, we'll be using an official Microsoft app called "Your Phone." It's installed on your Windows 10 computer by default. First, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

  • You've installed the Windows 10 April 2018 update or later.
  • Your Android device is running Android 7.0 or later.

Next, you'll need to set up the Your Phone app. It links your Android phone and Windows PC. After the initial setup process is complete, you can move on to notification syncing. First, you must give the Your Phone companion app permission to see Android notifications.

To do this, open the Your Phone app on your Windows 10 PC, click the "Notifications" tab, and then click "Open Settings on Phone."

Tap "Open" in the notification that appears on your Android device to sync notification settings.

tap open from notifications

The "Notification Access" settings will open. Find "Your Phone Companion" in the list and make sure "Allow Notification Access" is enabled.

allow notification access for your phone

The Your Phone Companion app can now sync Android notifications to the Your Phone app on your Windows PC. There are a few ways you can get the most out of this feature.

Notifications are truly "synced" between the devices. This means whenever you click the "X" to delete a notification from your PC, it's also removed from your Android device.

You also can use the notification quick actions that appear on the Android notifications and reply directly from your PC.

your phone notification actions

One important thing you should do is customize which notifications you'll see on your PC and how they'll look. To do so, click "Customize" in the Notifications tab.

You'll see the following toggles at the top of the "Notifications" settings:

  • "Display in the Your Phone app": This turns on notification syncing and keeps it enabled.
  • "Show Notification Banners": Notifications will appear in pop-ups in the corner of the screen.
  • "Show Badge on Taskbar": When Your Phone is open in the taskbar, you'll see a number badge for notifications.

Note that you'll have to have app notification banners enabled in Windows to use the feature. You can click "Turn on App Notification Banners in Windows Settings" to do so.

Next, you can decide which Android app notifications will appear on Windows. Click "Show All" and toggle-Off any you don't want to see. These notifications will still appear on your Android device.

choose which apps can send notifications

Finally, you can customize how the badges and banners appear. Click the drop-down menu to open the badging options. You can choose to clear badges when you view unread items, when the app is opened, or when you view a category.

In the banner section, you can choose to have all the notification content hidden, show the sender only, or show the full preview.

That's it! You're all set to get your Android notifications on your Windows 10 PC. This is a great time-saver if you use your computer a lot throughout the day. It can also save battery life on your phone because you won't have to unlock it so often.

Select your Hello doorbell.

Tap the gear icon at the top right to open the video doorbell settings.

How to Check Which Apps Are Optimized for M1 Macs

Posted: 03 Dec 2020 08:47 AM PST

If you recently upgraded to an Apple Silicon Mac and you've downloaded or transferred apps from an older machine, you might want to see which apps are optimized for Apple Silicon and which are Intel apps running under the Rosetta translation layer. Here's how to check.

Tip: If you're thinking about buying an M1 Mac, here's how to check whether your Mac's apps are compatible before you make the purchase.

First, click the Apple logo menu in the upper-left corner of your screen and select "About This Mac."

On a Mac, click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac."

In the window that appears, click the "System Report" button on the Overview tab.

Click "System Report."

In the System Information window, select Software > Applications in the sidebar menu.

In System Information, click "Software" then "Applications" in the sidebar menu.

You will then see a list of all the applications installed on your Mac. Focus on the "Kind" column. If an application is optimized for Apple Silicon, you'll see "Apple Silicon" listed beside it in that column.

You can even click the "Kind" column header and sort all of your apps by architecture support so that all of the "Apple Silicon" apps will be listed together.

In "System Information" look for "Apple Silicon" in the "Kind" column.

If an app isn't optimized for Apple Silicon, the "Kind" column will read "Intel." In that case, when you run the app, it will execute through Apple's Rosetta 2 translation layer.

If your favorite app isn't Apple Silicon optimized yet, don't fret. Apple's first Apple Silicon Macs, which feature in the M1 chip, will give developers a platform to port their applications to the new Mac architecture. If the app still receives regular updates, chances are that the developer will support Apple Silicon very soon, so keep an eye out for updates. Good luck!
