Meetings - participants that declined are still being notified of meeting chat messages
We're facing a quite annoying problem with Teams meetings that causes all participants that were invited - irrespective of their response (unknown, decline, tentative) - to be brought into the meetin...
March 2021 and this is still happening, no matter how many meetings I decline, I still get added to the meeting, see comments and get notifications about it. Instead of sending the people to mute the setting, how about fixing the bug?
If people decline a meeting they should NEVER get added into the meeting itself. That's the whole reason for declining a meeting.

Is this problem still persistent? I had invited all staff to a meeting and several of them either didn't accept or explicitly declined but continued to see all chat notifications. The worse part was they kept seeing it even if they were invited to an external Teams meeting. Any way to overcome this problem?
vijayjois I noticed that people who are invited to multiple team sessions and who accept, decline or not accept, still get notification 'ping' sounds when those attending the session engage on chat. This is quite annoying to those who did not even accept, or decline the invite issued, or accepted the first session, and did not accept the other invite sessions offered. It seems if you sent an invite, you get all the chat sounds/notification, which seems illogical to me. How can I fix this so that those invited, who did not accept or decline a teams meeting does not constantly hear or see the chat notifications. Thank-you Tracey
vijayjois of course it is still happening, check the data in my post and the post date itself.
Peter2wxin- The issue is that if the user declines they should not have to take an additional step and also Leave the meeting. Often they've declined and months later start receiving Teams messages for a meeting they've long forgotten about and will not attend. Ultimately "declined" should equal "leave" without taking additional steps.
