1. Open your Outlook Calendar.

2. Open the meeting you scheduled.

3. On the "Meeting" tab click "Contact Attendees" and choose the method you would like to contact them. Note that the IM feature will require the use of Lync and the Call feature is disabled.

4. Prepare and send the message that you wish to share with the attendees. You will notice that if you have a room reserved, it is excluded from the message.
