Hmm, just the otzher way around: I want to use channel calendar tomplan training events. I want only invite special persons, but everyone else could also want the meeting if he wants. But they should not get a Mail with an invitation, but only the one I really invited.
With a new team, it works like I want it to work. But with an old team (where most of our channels are in), it does not work like I want, everyone receives an email invitation to a meeting I create in the channel calendar, even if I did not invite them.
Should I set the attribute "AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents" of this "old" team to "false"?

ReneJ_Hamburg You should set AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents to False.
Should also say that it is a recognized problem that teams created from the Teams admin center do not have the same settings as those created from a Teams client. There's a change coming next month to make sure that consistent settings are used everywhere.

Hi Tony, so if we create a Team from the admin centre and even if the AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents is set to false members are still receiving the invites when the calendar entry is created in the channel calendar app.
I can see that the users are linked. Will the new update resolve this issue?

Hi Tony,
I just checks the attributes in the "old" team and the "new" team. Both had "AlwaysSubscribeMembersToCalendarEvents"=$false. So this what not the reason.
But with the help of your script How to Update Microsoft Teams so that Meeting Invitations go to Team Members - Office 365 for IT Pros (office365itpros.com) I checked the list of suscribers and in the "old" team, there were 15 subscribers, so I deleted them all and now it seems to be ok.
My question: What is the process so that 15 persons get into the subscribers list? What must a user do, do get into that list? (so that I could tell them, not to do it). I cannot see a "subscribe" button for a team.- TonyRedmondFeb 22, 2021MVP
ReneJ_Hamburg Those 15 users might have been part of the group when it was originally created as an Outlook group before being team-enabled. That would explain why they were in the subscribers list.
Or they could have been added by an admin.
Or this might be a very old team (created before mid-2018) when the attributes assigned to the team were less consistent and appropriate to those used for new teams now.
