How do I change the default meeting duration to 50 minutes?

[Guest]

Outlook default is 30 min. when creating a meeting. That is seldom valid for
business meetings. How do you change the default meeting duration (e.g. 1
hr., or 50 min.)?

Outlook default is 30 min. when creating a meeting. That is seldom

duration (e.g. 1 hr., or 50 min.)?

I believe that if you set the scale of the calendar to 1 hour, you'll get
the default meeting duration to match the scale. However, that will only
effect the meetings you create while the calendar is the active window.
IOW, if you go to your inbox and then hit ctrl-shift-a, it goes back to the
default of 30 minutes.
