Find Favorite People quickly in Outlook 2013

You can find People who you are connected with really quickly direct from the favorite People pane in Outlook 2013. Really quick and easy.

Hover over the People icon on the taskbar in Outlook 2013

Click into the search area and type the name of the person you want to find.

As you type a name all the possible matches will show up. Here I only have one Donald in my People list. When I hover over his name, I get a choice of actions I can perform, send him an Instant Message, call him, start a video call via Lync or send an email.

I use this a lot. It is such a time saver as I no longer have to switch out of what I am doing to find a contact.

What do you think? Will it save you time?
