In my opinion this answer is not the best response as it suggests to request as a new feature what I understand is the normal behaviour as explained in subsequent answers.
The behaviour reported by JohnHolzman is the expected behaviour. You just have to make sure that the Microsoft 365 Group associated to the problematic Teams team has a particular setting turned off. Specifically the setting "Send copies of team email and events to team member inboxes" as shown in the picture below:
Once you or your systems admin turn that opcion off for the affected team, only invited users will get invites in that team's channel meetings.
I hope this helps

I'm looking for a solution to this as well. I checked out the setting in admin and that feature you mentioned is unchecked but all members are still receiving meeting invites.
When you uncheck the refered setting, new team or group members will not receive invitations but that will not affect users that were members previous to unchecking.
Those users will have to change this behavour manually in their Outlooks.
- In Outlook, look for the Goups area on the left at the bottom of the folder tree.
- Select the problematic group and on the resulting page, click on the 3 dots to the right of the "Send email" option and select Settings, as seen on the image below
- On the right panel that shows up, select "Receive only replies to you" or "Don't receive any group messages".
Also, to make sure all your teams/groups are set to not autosubscribe members, you can use the PS script in this link by Tony Redmond; https://office365itpros.com/2023/09/08/teams-channel-meeting-invites/amp/
I hope this helps.

thanks for your input.
is it an idea to change the setting, then remove all members and invite them back in?
Would that work to avoid the manual changes per member?
thanks

DavidGC2195 Good idea. I have not tested it but it'd be good news if it does as you wouldn't have to get every member do the change manually.
You can easily try with just one member. Would you try and provide feedback?
Thank you in any case!
