[How-To] Change Default Interval of Meetings in Microsoft Outlook
By default, with Microsoft Outlook, you can create meetings or appointments which have 30 minute intervals. However, not everyone of us is interested in 30 minute meetings, for me and my team of consultants, often the meetings are usually for nothing less than an hour and because of the 30 minute default setup, i end up sending incorrect meeting invites. While, one can argue that revisiting the basic details before pressing the send button is the best practise, there are times when one just misses to spot the issue.
In this article, i will walk you through the steps required to change the default interval of meetings and appointments in Microsoft Outlook.
Follow the steps below
1.) Navigate to the calendar view and at right click at an empty space.
2.) Click on Other Settings.
3.) At the Other Settings dialog, you will find a drop-down, which says “Time Scale”. The value selected at this drop down is the default value of the appointment or meetings.
4.) At the drop down, change the value to 15 minutes, if you wish to reduce the default meeting interval. Or you can choose to select a value of 60 minutes, if you wish to increase the meeting interval.
5.) Click OK.
The above steps help you change the default interval of meeting and appointments in Microsoft Outlook. After having completed the above mentioned steps, the next time you setup a meeting, the default interval will be as per the new value of “Time Scale”, which you just setup.
