MicrosoftEnhancements to O365 Groups Calendar in Outlook - Never miss an event sent to a group.
Ivan54 - It is unlikely since we are just beggining the rollout of this feature to have impacted what you are saying. Also, when a group event is created in O365 group, currently, only the users who have subscribed to messages from that group would get that in their Inbox and it would show up in their calendar. In other words, unless the calendar invite lands somewhere in the user mailbox, it wouldnt show up in their calendar. Is it possible that the members are subscribed to the messages and may have missed the invite or it went to another folder?
MicrosoftHi Brent,
We would be rolling this update out through the month of February. There is a good chance that you have been upgraded if you are noticing this behavior already.

I believe I've figured out why the group event I created was silently added to my calendar even though I haven't added it manually.
Is it possible that the the group event creator is automatically added as "attending" and therefore it's in the creators calendar automatically without receiving an invite?

Ivan - Yes that is what happens. Ideally, any event that you add directly to your Group calendar should automatically appear on the your personal calendar as 'Accepted'. Even if you create an event from your inbox and add a group to the reciepients list, the event should be added to your personal calendar as 'Accepted'.
Is that not working correctly for you?
Yes this "working". I just wasn't expecting it, since previously I just received an invitation like all other group members and it wasn't mentioned above.
But it's alright now, since I understand the behaviour.
