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?

at the beginning of this week, I've created an event in an Office 365 Group where the Group itself was the owner.
All 3 members of this group had the event automatically in their personal calendars though none of us received a calendar events.
Is this possibly in any relation to this change?

Thansk, I didn't think so anyway :)
Also I agree with Brent, Outlook 2016 needs some more Groups "Love" - as in parity to the web version.
