Set Your Work Hours and Location
To set your work schedule in New Outlook, do the following:
Select Settings > Calendar.
Choose Work hours and location, and then define your work schedule by choosing days, times, and locations.
This new setup experience is currently available only in new Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web, but setting up work hours and location will eventually be available in Teams and Outlook for iOS, Android, and Mac.
View and Update Your Work Location
When your schedule changes, it is easy to update your work location from Outlook.
When viewing your calendar, select the icon representing your scheduled work location and change the location as needed. The work location can be cleared by deselecting the location.
View Others' Locations
Knowing where others are working from is important for scheduling and collaboration. You can view others’ locations when scheduling from Outlook or when viewing their profile card.
From Outlook when scheduling a meeting - If others have set up their work hours and location, their work location will appear in the Scheduling Assistant, as shown below.
From profile cards - If you want to quickly look up where someone is working from, you can view their location in their profile card next to their availability.
