Option to set default reminder time for all day events in calendar
Allow a default reminder time for all Events in Calendar irrespective of whether they are of fixed duration or all day events which was possible in previous versions of Outlook.

Currently, when you set an event for All day in Outlook client (e.g. Outlook 2016), the default value of the reminder is set to 18 hr. or 0.5 day.
So, we would like you to implement a feature that can change the default value setting in advance. -

Please:
Configurable default reminder for all day appointment, just like it's configurable for specific time appointments.
USER VOICE = RIGHT HERE on this thread if you're willing to look.

Allow users to determine when they want to be notified without having to manually adjust the reminder time for each invitation. Particularly useful for invitations where the organizer has set no reminder time. Ideally user would be able to set a different default time for fixed duration meetings and all day events.

An Outlook appointment should be able to be sent with the Reminder of None, and pass None through to the recipients. Having None function more like a Null option is a confusing experience, and instead it'll default to whatever the Outlook's reminder time is set in the options - which is 15 minutes normally.

How many times have you woken up the day before your well-deserved vacation at 06:00? This 18 hour non-sense has hounted me for years. Just please make it go away. If I book something big enough to earn "all-day" status, I'm pretty sure that I will remember it without the 18-hour devilish default reminder.

Had the oddest problem where every once in a while new appointments were being sent with 18 hour reminder and Show as was Free. Finally figured out it was because I started the appointment in calendar view, then revised the length to be an hour or two - but totally missed the reminder and show as default settings.
Led to chaos because the meetings were accepted, but didn't show up in attendee calendars because the time was Free.
Now I found this page and others and see this has been a know problem for close to a decade. Sheesh, fix it already MS. I shouldn't have to change the default every time I create a new meeting in calendar view. This should be a user defined default.

Jesus Christ Almighty, I finally figured out why my iPhone awakens me at 6:00am. For the love of God please change the default reminder for all day events to 12 hours before or--even better--allow options for doing so. The person who designed this function is either sadistic, demented, or likely both. Thank you.

As stated in other posts, am not able to set the calendar default reminder despite following instructions to go to File>Options>Calendar>and settting default reminder time. The reminder time STILL comes up at 18 hours when adding calendar appointments. Please fix this feature.

Allow user to change default reminder time for an all day event. Current default is 18 hours and has to be reset manually each time. This is super frustrating. Give the user the ability to choose.

Create an option to set a default to add reminders to all calendar appointments regardless if the originator did not include a reminder when scheduling the appointment. Therefore, the calendar owner would still get reminders for all meetings. This will eliminate having open all meetings individually to add reminders, which is time consuming and inefficient.

Hi,
there is a free utility ADEtuning that can set the default values for:
- All day event "Show as" status (Free/Tentative/Busy/Out of office)
- All day event reminder timeRegards,

Can you clarify: I organize a meeting and set reminder time for the meeting. Can I set that reminder time for participants also or is it only reminder time for me? Do participants see their own default reminder times or that reminder time that I set?

Change the default reminder time for all-day events (18 hours is 0600 the previous day!). 12 hours would be more sensible, or provide a user setting for the default.

I would like to request an enhancement to Microsoft Outlook. For individuals not on Outlook that I send meeting appointments to, it would be nice to have a built-in feature that would allow me to pre-schedule an email reminder to meeting attendees that would go out the day of the meeting (as opposed to a meeting notification that not everyone may get if they aren't on Outlook or don't accept the appt). As it stands now, I have to do double work in creating the meeting appointment AND creating/scheduling an email reminder for attendees.

Reading online, this has been a complaint for YEARS. I can change the default on calendar items I make for specific times, but I can't change the default reminder time (which I'd like to be NONE) on all day events. Give us the option to change both if we wish.

This should totally be configurable as a user preference, just as the non-all-day events are.
