Ever found yourself rushing from one virtual meeting to the next with barely a moment to catch your breath? 

Here's a Cool Tip: Set your calendar meetings to start a few minutes early or late.

Outlook's new feature might just be the game-changer you need. 

With the ability to configure meetings to start a few minutes early or late, you can now ensure those precious breaks between meetings. 

But how does this feature work, and why is it so important?

The new meeting setup option in Outlook allows users to automatically configure meetings to start a few minutes early or late, depending on their length. 

This ensures you have breaks between back-to-back meetings, providing a moment to stretch, grab a drink, or simply reset before diving into the next call.

Here's how to do it.

1. Launch Outlook and navigate to the calendar.
2. Select Settings > Calendar > Events and invitations.
3. Select the 'Shorten duration for all events' checkbox.
4. Use the dropdowns to select the number of minutes for events less than one hour and one hour or longer, then select Save.
