Microsoft Outlook and Teams Meeting Invitations

Overview

Receiving multiple invitations for a calendar meeting in Outlook and Teams

Information

Microsoft now sends meeting invitations to both Outlook and Teams. You can respond to the meeting invitation from either Outlook or Teams and it will then appear on your calendar. 

In Outlook, the invitation appears split. The top part of the invitation will show a snippet of your calendar as well as the Accept, Decline, and Follow options. The Follow option lets the meeting organizer know you can not attend but do want to continue to receive information about the meeting. The bottom section allows you to also Accept, Decline, or Follow the meeting as well as add a message to the meeting organizer.

In Teams, under the RSVP menu, you’ll receive an invitation with Accept, Tentative, and Decline options. You can add a message to the meeting organizer from this window also.
