Outlook - Create a calendar appointment
In Outlook, appointments aren’t the same as meetings. Appointments are activities that you schedule in your calendar that don’t involve inviting other people or reserving resources, such as a conference room or equipment.
- In a Calendar folder, choose New Appointment. You can also right-click a time block in your calendar grid, and then choose New Appointment.

Keyboard shortcut: To create an appointment, press Ctrl+Shift+A.
