Meetings - participants that declined are still being notified of meeting chat messages
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...)
- Exactly, but a full decline should not add you to the chat, in my company, there are plenty of meetings that I'm not interested in joining, and I still get a lot of notifications from these messages, is not being picky, I can always click on "leave" and then "hide" but that's not the ideal scenario.
dannygm This is still happening, late October 2021. I declined a meeting, which was a repeat of a previous meeting I did attend, and I am getting notice of every post on their chat. I never joined the meeting, have no option to 'leave' the meeting and it is showing as muted, but I still get the buzzing. I made the mistake of asking to be removed from the chat, which only served to make me get EVERY post notification. This is not tenable.
