Meeting times they are a changing
Mick_W If they truly forwarded the meeting invite to you (as in clicked the forward button), then I do not believe its even possible to change the start time of the meeting.
If on the other hand they copied the meeting join information into an email, and sent you that ad-hoc whilst defining the meeting time themselves (or some other manual process outside legitimate use of the forward button), then I'd be inclined to agree that they've made a faux pas.

Ben DonaldsonIt wasn't an email that they had written stating the start time, it was the regular teams invite. The colleague shared a screenshot of the invite they received and there in black and white was the earlier start time. They said they just forwarded it over to me and it *somehow* when it arrived in my inbox the start time had miraculously changed. Sounds very off to me, but would there even be a way to change it before forwarding it on, either by mistake or intentionally? Not sure if I should post copies (even redacted ones) on here, but I could PM some screenshots if you would let me know what you think. It's important to me to get to the truth about what has happened and why and I do appreciate your help with this.

Mick_W No, only the meeting organizer can change the time, so providing they simply clicked the forward button then it wouldn't have been caused by the forwarding user.
Maybe that a freak sequence of events including the rescheduling of the meeting by 30 mins, your acceptance, the time of the forwarding, and the forwarder accepting the updated meeting time... all in a particular order? I just had a quick play and wasn't able to reproduce it in any way though.
Much like Cleopatras tomb, maybe a mystery that will never be solved.... you're not missing anything obvious though on a technical front. If it was time zone related I'd expect it to be reproducible.
- Mick_WSep 20, 2022Copper ContributorThank you for your input
You may be right in saying that this will never be 'solved'
It's looking like nobody is going to own up to anything they may or may not have done so we can only speculate I guess
