Outlook Calendar: Not Seeing Accepted Attendees
Hi jsasani, and Happy Workday to you.
I was really curious about this post for I had thought the response was noted without an email as well.
Here is what I learned and tested.This issue has been communicated to MS since 2017. It appears that it does not work when Outlook Windows is used. I tested and confirmed it.
Then I tested in Outlook for the Web, I discovered that the Do Not Send a Response is not an option. See the image below.Many Outlook users and including me, agree with you. This feature has created a lot of confusion and more email handling. And, hopefully, Microsoft agrees with you too.
Have a good day.

Teresa_Cyrus Thanks for this tip. If I understand correctly, the only way it works is if the invitee uses Outlook for web to reply. Unfortunately, no one at my company uses Outlook for web. I'm dumbfounded that Microsoft hasn't corrected this glaring deficiency.
- Thanks for your response! From Outlook for Web there is a way to turn off the email (just slide the toggle for "Email organizer"), but even when I turn off the email response the organizer still sees that I've accepted or rejected the meeting. So that's great! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Sounds like it's best to use the Web version in this case.
