Meetings - participants that declined are still being notified of meeting chat messages
ChrisWebbTech-- Thank you for this information. It is very useful. Unfortunately I don't see the issue in the backlog.
Problem:
Users that declined a Teams meeting, still are asked to Join and still receive notices from the chat.
Why is this a problem?
I work with a number of group worldwide, many 6-12 hours separate from me. I decline many of the meetings because they occur at 2 or 3am in my local time zone. Unfortunately, we also use Teams for our on-call operational support. I cannot turn off Teams Notifications. 😞
SOoo… Where can I find the address to send suggestions for the backlog? 🙂
- You’ll need to contact support but a few things to note. If these meetings are scheduled to a channel in your team and you are set for notifications on that channel you are going to get notifications for the meeting regardless since it’s chat takes place on a channel thread.
I don’t know if this is the case here but a hunch because the meeting chats should not notify you unless you join and or participate in the chat first. But the exception to this would be a channel meeting with channel notifications turned on.This issue is still occurring and it's not a Teams channel meeting.
We still have this problem.
If someone declines a Team meeting in Outlook,
they still get notifikations in Teams (gets into the meeting).
Microsoft should have fixed it.
Mute meeting chats in Teams
By default meeting chats in Microsoft Teams will be muted until you either send a message in the chat, or join the online meeting. This will reduce notifications, but still allow you to keep track of the conversation.
