Tracking meeting response visible to all participants
Hi Joost,
Yes -- this feature is still in development, and we're planning to release it in Q4 of this year.
The final remaining pieces are for the Outlook on Windows client to show the Tracking tab to meeting attendees (currently it's only shown to meeting organizers), and to properly track responses sent from the Outlook on Windows clients.
More details
There are 2 attendee response properties: (1) the RecipientsList table that has each recipient and their individual response, and (2) the property used in MailTips to say "You accepted this meeting on September 21st."
When we enabled the Tracking tab for attendees in the Outlook on Windows client, we discovered that Outlook on Windows was setting only property #2. We're working on how to detect changes in property #2, and when we detect that change, we will update property #1 (so your own response shows correctly when you view the invitation) and then updating attendees' copies (so your response is shown correctly to others). Right now, we have it working for one-off meetings but we are fixing some issues with the way responses are detected for series vs. instances of a series.
MicrosoftWe just started work on this and hope to release it in the next few months. I'll update this forum thread when it's released.
From below thread it seems that the function that invitees can see the list of who has accepted the invite and who not is already active. Is that true? Also for Windows 365 on Mac?
best regards,

Yes, this is already released.
In all Outlook clients (Windows, Mac, Web, iOS, Android), attendees can see other attendees & their responses.Hi Julia,
first thank you very much for that feature. One more thing as the official support article is not very specific on this

We have Outlook Office365 1808 but Exchange 2016 OnPremise. This feature is not working here. So am I right if this only works in Exchange-Online and not in OnPremise Exchange even we do have the Office365 Outlook Version?

andib_commotron You're correct -- this feature requires both the organizer and the attendee trying to view others' responses to be hosted in Exchange Online. Even if you're on the updated client, it won't work if your mailbox is hosted on-prem.
