No Chat Notifications When Meeting is Declined in Outlook
- I get a Teams meeting invite in Outlook.
- I decline the invite.
- If someone in that meeting posts in Chat, then I get a notification from a meeting I declined! I have to go to Teams and leave the meeting.
Additional Info: My meeting invite is through a group list.

I just checked this and as long as the user has the user notification setting set to "Mute until I join or send a message", under the general Teams settings area, it will not get notification regardless if the invitee accepted or decline the meeting.
My organization found this annoying, but seems they addressed this on a release back in December. Not sure why this keeps happening to others.

MS - This is really annoying, why am I being forcefully dragged into Meeting conversation which I declined at first place? I did a quick test and noticed it does not matter I accept/decline/chose not to act I am still being dragged into Meeting conversation. I have to "Leave" the conversation and then hide it.

For the love of all that is sacred, please fix this. I declined three meetings this morning, all at the same time. Each had many attendees. I kept getting pop-ups for every chat/comment was made! It was impossible to work with all of the intrusive pop-ups! If I wanted to participate in the conversation for a meeting, I would have accepted the meeting invite!

Bumping this topic, same problem in my organization. Does anyone know of other threads that might have a workaround? Chad said it was actively being worked, can you post the ticket # perhaps so I can forward to my IT guys for tracking?

This is affecting users at my company on a regular basis.

This is something that is affecting me on a regular basis, as I am trying to run training sessions via Teams. Those who are unable to attend the live training, but are viewing the uploaded video later on, are being constantly annoyed by these notifications for a meeting they cannot join at that time.

Received word that this is going to be worked on and resolved. Declining a meeting will automatically mute the chat.

Logged a ticket with MS on this issue. Support rep was unsure if this was a feature or a bug and is going to follow up with product team.
I voted bug.
Was presented with two workarounds:
1) Accept the meeting; join the meeting; type something in chat; mute the chat; go back and decline the meeting
2) Wait for chat to show up for the meeting, then mute it.

We have actually seen private Microsoft chats because a Microsoft engineer used an internal repeating meeting and invited a couple of us during a support call a few weeks earlier

I get this all the time and it's an incredibly poor experience. Plus, I ususally have to decline since I'm in another meeting and will suddenly be getting notifications from two meetings at the same time, which is not just distracting, but completely confusing.

+1. Very poor user experience to continue to receive messages for meetings that are not on the calendar. I can understand continuing to get messages for "tentative" or "accepted" meetings that I was not simply able to attend, but our large meeting chat boxes are now filled with dozens of "X has left the meeting" because they never wanted to be there to begin with.
