Meetings - Don't send to whole group.
When a new meeting is created for a group calendar, even if you uncheck "Send meeting invitation to group members" it still arrives in the inbox of all group members with the options "Accept/Tentative/Decline". This is very unintuitive. It would be great if our team could place events related to the teamwork on the calendar without inviting everyone to them.
Is this a bug or am I not understanding the point of group calendars? The only thing that seems like it could be on here are "Team Wide Events" or some other large gathering... I was hoping the calendar could act as an overview of what is going on with travel/meetings/milestones etc.
I saw a uservoice request for this, https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/286611-office-365-groups/suggestions/9532698-allow-calendar-appointments-to-be-created-without, which seems to indicate its fixed! But it definitely is not.
- Ravin SachdevaMicrosoftHi Myles, this looks like a bug. Unchecking that box - send meeting invitation to group members should avoid sending that invite to group member's inboxes. Can you send me your tenant details on Private Message?
- tony-derricottGold ContributorI've seen sporadic instances of that in our organization, too. I can't pin down whether the end users who are creating the events are using OWA or Desktop. I'd love to hear further results posted to this thread.
