On the Inside My Organization tab, type the response that you want to send to teammates or colleagues while you are out of the office.
At the top of your calendar, click the first date you’ll be out of the office. Click Out of office. Select the dates that you’ll be out of the office. Optional: Update the time range and edit your decline message. Click Save.
