        "content": "Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide for changing your work hours (and optionally your work location) in Office 365 (Outlook and Teams). The exact steps depend on which version of Outlook you're using (new Outlook for Windows, Outlook on the Web, classic Outlook, etc.).\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 When to Use Which Experience\n\n- **New Outlook** (Windows) or **Outlook on the Web** supports modern work hours and location settings\u2014letting you specify different hours and locations per day. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Classic Outlook for Windows** uses simpler settings: one consistent work-week and work hours across all workdays. ([officetooltips.com](https://www.officetooltips.com/outlook_365/tips/how_to_change_working_days_and_time_in_the_outlook_calendar?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 How to Change Your Work Hours & Days\n\n### In Classic Outlook (Outlook Desktop)\n\n1. Open Outlook on your PC.  \n2. Go to **File** \u2192 **Options** \u2192 **Calendar**.  \n3. Find the **Work time** section.  \n4. Change the **Start time** and **End time** of your typical workday.  \n5. Tick the checkboxes next to the days of the week you work; clear the ones you don\u2019t.  \n6. Update the **First day of week** setting if needed.  \n7. Click **OK** to save changes.  \n   ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-your-work-hours-and-days-in-outlook-c6b76035-dfd4-4663-a821-d7260e650ba8?utm_source=openai))\n\n### In New Outlook / Outlook on the Web\n\nThis lets you set up more flexible working hours and define work-location per day (office, remote, etc.), if your organization allows it. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))\n\n1. Open **Outlook on the Web** (go to outlook.office.com) or launch **New Outlook for Windows**.  \n2. Click the **Settings** (gear icon) \u2192 **Calendar** \u2192 **Work hours and location**. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Select the days of the week you want to work.  \n4. For each day, set your start time, end time, and optionally your work location (office, remote, or specific building, if your org supports that). ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Decide whether to **share your office location details** with others; you can turn that off if you prefer privacy. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))  \n6. To make changes for individual days (different hours, remote vs in-office), use the **Work plan** icon in the calendar view. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))  \n7. Click **Save** after making changes. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/set-your-work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-af2fddf9-249e-4710-9c95-5911edfd76f6?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Things to Know & Common Issues\n\n- **Time-zones**: If your work hours are showing incorrectly (e.g. in the wrong time-zone), there\u2019s usually a display option under **Calendar \u2192 View \u2192 Time zones** that lets you sync or update your meeting/work hours time-zone. Sometimes you\u2019ll see prompts like \u201cDo you want to update\u2026\u201d after changing time-zone settings. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Office365/comments/1eqsn8l/outlook_work_hours_and_location_showing_wrong/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Syncing to Teams**: Changes made in Outlook (especially via web or new experience) usually carry over to Teams, but it may take a restart or some time to sync. ([support.alchemyglobalsolutions.com](https://support.alchemyglobalsolutions.com/hc/en-gb/articles/26299356282653-How-to-Change-Working-Hours-on-Teams-and-Outlook?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Permissions & Administration**: Some work-hours settings may be locked by your organization\u2019s IT. If you can\u2019t save changes, you might need to contact your system admin. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Office365/comments/1rf70gc/cant_update_work_hours_on_teams_or_outlook/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Mobile apps**: Typically, Outlook mobile apps (iOS/Android) reflect whatever has been set up elsewhere (Outlook web/desktop). They often don\u2019t let you set work hours directly. ([absentify.com](https://absentify.com/en/blog/outlook-set-working-hours?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version you're using (e.g. Outlook desktop on Windows, Mac, or web), I can walk you through steps specific to your setup!"
