Microsoft Outlook's Scheduling Assistant is designed to simplify scheduling meetings by automatically suggesting available time slots for users with Microsoft 365 accounts. To use it, users can click on a date in their calendar, enter attendees' email addresses, and choose from three default suggested meeting times. Users can also manually find additional meeting times using the Scheduling Assistant feature, which allows them to view availability and select a suitable time slot. However, there are some limitations to this feature, such as a limit on the number of attendees that can be displayed and no "regenerate" or "show more options" button. To further automate meeting-related tasks, users can connect Microsoft Outlook to other apps using Zapier, which allows for automation of tasks like creating meeting agendas and tracking action items.
