Meetings - participants that declined are still being notified of meeting chat messages
I've discovered the "Webinar" feature of meetings where people have to actively sign up to the meeting which arrives at a similar conclusion but still has it's drawbacks (chat only works in meeting, and only if you look for it...unless I'm doing something wrong)
- Andreas_FJul 08, 2021Copper ContributorThanks for the tip, will look into it as an option to get around the worst of the spam.. It not exactly appreciated when users are invited to several meetings on different topics to choose from at the same date and time and then getting chat from several meetings at once. 🙂

Andreas_F Ideally we should not be doing workarounds, instead Microsoft should fix this behaviour, how difficult could that be?

dannygm - Ideally there are three options: 1) Attending, 2) Not attending but I'd like to read the chat later, 3) Not going, leave me alone, I have too much work to do, Yes I am being anti-social.
Seriously, option 2 should be an "Opt-In". By default, if I am attending I should get the chat. If I decline the meeting, I do not get any of the notices about the meeting, or the attendant meeting features.
I work with a part of the company in Europe. My phone goes crazy at 4am because someone set up a meeting badly. DIng...Ding!!... Ding-ding!... di-ding-din-ding-ding! (Dings coming in so fast the last one doesn't finish...)
