Email notification to Team members when meeting is scheduled
hi, When I schedule a meeting in Teams only Team owners receive an email notification. Is there a way for all Team members to receive an email notification? Frank

Hi FrankGriffin
This is the expected behavior for Microsoft Teams Channel Meeting. Members would not receive the Email Notification but they should get a Feed that there is a Meeting Schedule in the Teams Channel.
With Regards,

bert The only "solution" I found, which isn't an acceptable solution, is to tell the guests to go into outlook.com and unsubscribe from the team's outlook group notifications. We have hundreds of project teams, thousands of guests... we're not going to engage in a campaign to tell/educate guests on how to do that.
- bertMay 20, 2022Copper ContributorHi Phil, this article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/skypehybridguy/why-do-i-receive-invites-to-channel-meetings-in-microsoft-teams-mystery-solved
explains that it's also possible via the Manage Group email setting in Outlook.
Check the radiobox "Don't receive any group messages" and then the email with meeting-invites won't be sent either. Not ideal actually, because some messages are still useful to appear in the individual mailbox.- PhilHemingwaySTVMay 20, 2022Iron ContributorHi Bert,
I understand there's a group setting but by default, it's off and yet guests still receive the notifications by being auto-subscribed to the Outlook group. And the article you share details what I mentioned... that the individuals can unsubscribe from the Outlook group on their own (which to me is not an acceptable solution). We need an admin-level switch to unsubscribe all guests... or like you say, since some messages you'd want a notification for, there should be a way for a team owner/admin to unsubscribe guests from meeting invites if they weren't an invitee. Nonetheless, thank you for sharing!
