Create a meeting in a 365-Group calendar without inviting the whole team? Question and critic!
Hey Ethan Li looking at your "Brownbag" option and looking into how the invites currently work for group emails when sent directly from Outlook from the Create a Meeting option. When you Mark the "Office 365 Group" for sending the request to it it takes the distribution attributes and sends the whole team an invite. What might be a good idea is to add a listening address for only adding calendar invites.
The way that we have worked around this to have calendar invites sent directly from the Group to only those that we want invited is as follows.
- Open up the Group Calendar Calendar in Outlook. (I am using Outlook 2016)
- Select the date that you wish to have the Calendar invite on and create a new meeting request.
- When the calendar invite pops up, delete the Group Distribution List, and add the contacts you want.
- Once you send the invite, it will appear as if you sent it from the Group. It will show up on the Calendar and only add to those who are invited.
Any other suggestions?

sane4now We'll be fixing that as a part of the same "brownbag" feature ;). I'll be posting details shortly.
