Update calendar invite without sending 'meeting has been updated message' to attendees
ssoutrs Hi, if using Outlook on the web the updates won't be sent to all attendees as it has a built-in behavior when it comes to these notifications
Send updates options for attendees not shown - Exchange | Microsoft Docs
If using the Outlook client she should save the updated info (File - Save) and not use "Send update" button. If adding/deleting someone in the invite make sure to select the proper option at the prompt.

- Open existing meeting
- Update the meeting
- Toggle Calendar to be in "Offline" mode (Send / Receive > Work Offline)
- Back in the meeting you made changes to, select "Send update"
- Send it
- Go to the Email section in Outlook
- Go to the "Outbox"
- Select the notification for the calendar item you just updated
- Delete the calendar item from the Outbox
- Return to the Calendar Section > Send / Receive > Work Offline (but now restore your online status)
- Done
The calendar item should be updated, but the message should not be sent because you deleted it before going back online.
This worked for me until a week or so ago. Now it only updates on my calendar and not on the people i invited. Any suggestions?
- Thank you for your clear and concise instructions. This worked for my specific situation. Again, thank you.
- Thank you for these steps and your reply. This is way too many steps for the ability to do something simple. I like the world of collaboration and sharing but we still need to have ways to remain private without having to whip out a job aid every time.
From new outlook, open the calendar event. In the ribbon there is a drop down with two little sliders on it. Uncheck Request response.
From teams, open the calendar event. At the top center after Category, press the 3 dots. From the drop down select Response options and uncheck Request response.
