AFAIK, no! But you can connect to meeting and then go to the meeting chat in the chat tab , right click and inactivate notifications for it

They changed these meetings were you basically auto join if you accept the invite. But as you and your users are experiencing that can be annoying because of chat. Microsoft has a fix coming in the pipeline for this so you can set it to not alert you until you join the meeting. So that will be nice.

ChrisWebbTech That'll be nice. We'll keep an eye out for that update notification. Thanks for the heads up.

Is there an update on this one as one of my colleagues mentioned that they had accepted a meeting and not joined, but kept on getting the chat notifications in the meeting. They have their setting in Teams set to mute until I join, but this was not happening.

  jimmitcha, I think it's working as expected for me and I haven't heard continued complaints from our end users, although I'm not often in this situation. Is it possible that your user has an older client installed? I'm running 1.3.00.8663.

    Alex Carlock Teams still exhibits exactly the behavior described by the OP. Chats pop up (annoyingly) for meetings that are on my calendar but that I have not joined.
