Tracking meeting response visible to all participants
I have been searching around for this answer but I cannot find it. I recently discovered that every participant of a meeting can see the tracking status (accept/decline/tentative/no response) in Outl...
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.

MicrosoftHi Carl,
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?
Hi Julia Foran
But is this feature available for internal users who have their mailboxes on the same Hosted Exchange? Example:
Appointment creator:User A from organisation A
Invited persons:
User B from organisation A
User C from organisation A
User D from organisation A
All users are in the same "Organisation A" and their mailbox is operated on the same OnPrem Hosted Exchange. For example, can user B now see whether user C or D has accepted or declined the appointment?
Input:
I have tested this on a test Hosted Exchange environment and currently only the organiser (Appointment creator) can see which user has accepted or declined the appointment
Hello Julia Foran
Will this functionality be available in the future in Exchange on-prem installation? Maybe works are planned and we need some time to wait it.

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.
