How to add members to your family group:

1. Go to https://family.microsoft.com and sign in with the user name and password you use for Outlook.com.

2. Select 'Add a family member'.

3. Select 'Child' or 'Adult', and enter their email address of mobile phone number.

4. Select 'Send invite'.


Schedule an event on the shared family calendar

1. Sign in to Outlook.com.

2. Open your Outlook.com calendar.

3. At the top of the page, select 'New Event'.

4. At the top if the new event window, select 'Calendar' then 'Family calendar'.

5. Enter the details of the event and select 'Save'.
