MicrosoftEnhancements to O365 Groups Calendar in Outlook - Never miss an event sent to a group.
Ivan54 - It is unlikely since we are just beggining the rollout of this feature to have impacted what you are saying. Also, when a group event is created in O365 group, currently, only the users who have subscribed to messages from that group would get that in their Inbox and it would show up in their calendar. In other words, unless the calendar invite lands somewhere in the user mailbox, it wouldnt show up in their calendar. Is it possible that the members are subscribed to the messages and may have missed the invite or it went to another folder?
Is there a setting to turn this off on a per O365 Group basis? It REALLY doesn't work for some users and wow, one just let me know in no uncertain terms in a hallway encounter just now.
It would be great if Microsoft recognized that settings changes like this have to be controllable by the tenant admins. Workflows/culture vary from company to company -- or even within it.
Thanks,
Adam
In set-unifiedgroup if -AutoSubscribeNewMembers is set to $false AND -AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents is ALSO set to $false this would not occur. At least for new members of the O365 group. Is that correct?
I really wish this was easily controllable behavior from the powershell cmdlet.

Hi Adam,
Could you explain more what you were looking to turn off?
There's currently two types of calendar scenarios that your group in Outlook supports:
- Appointments: Open the group calendar, and select "New appointment." The appointment you create will only live in the group calendar--no invitations are sent.
- Meetings: Invite a group (from your calendar or from the group calendar), members will receive an invitation in their inbox, unless they explicitly opted out of receiving meeting invitations from the group.
