[00:00:00.000]What I'm about to show you is
[00:00:02.670]something known as Follow in
[00:00:05.900]Outlook.
[00:00:07.220]I want you to be aware, though,
[00:00:10.430]that this is only available in
[00:00:13.050]the new Outlook for Windows
[00:00:15.680]and Outlook on the web.
[00:00:21.960]When you receive a meeting
[00:00:25.950]invitation, what you will get
[00:00:28.920]are these one extra option next
[00:00:32.460]to Accept, Decline, and Follow.
[00:00:36.720]What Follow allows you to do is
[00:00:40.510]show you as free time, almost
[00:00:43.530]as if you have declined,
[00:00:46.340]but it also lets the organizer
[00:00:48.420]know that you would like to
[00:00:50.240]keep in touch.
[00:00:51.500]If you have also discovered
[00:00:53.220]that after a while you have
[00:00:54.840]another meeting that is going
[00:00:56.820]to
[00:00:56.960]be more important, you can also
[00:01:00.390]change your RSVP by right
[00:01:03.050]clicking on a meeting
[00:01:05.340]invitation
[00:01:06.760]and change it to Follow.
[00:01:09.320]And just like anything, it's
[00:01:11.330]either this one or all events
[00:01:13.270]in the series.
[00:01:14.500]Follow will not be an option
[00:01:16.450]for any meeting invitations
[00:01:18.480]where there are only two people.
[00:01:21.040]people.
