We have experienced where we select a subset of members for a channel meeting so that they will receive the invitation in Outlook. We understand that all members can attend if they want to but are choosing to include those who must attend in the meeting's invitee list along with choosing a channel.
What happens is that external (guest) members who were not one of the 'must attend' members are receiving the emailed invitation anyway! The internal members are not, as expected, but the external members are.
We have been on the phone with Microsoft for several months on this because this is a bug that needs to be fixed. Their "fix" was some PowerShell that our Global Admin would have to run everytime a new external user was added as a member to a TEAM....and on a per TEAM basis. Completely not scalable or manageable in order to produce a consistent, accurate experience for our TEAMS users. We couldn't use it.
To get this fixed properly, we need to vote this issue up so spread the word. This issue that we found, Microsoft acknowledged as a problem...enough to put the time and effort into coming up with a 'workaround', however, also said that the erroneous current functionality is that way 'by design' even though it is wrong.
So, if you haven't experienced this exact scenario, know that it can happen and, if you have external users in your TEAMS, it probably will.
There are several Uservoice entries along these lines that need to be combined.
Please help to vote these up and draw attention to the fact that their votes should be combined into one uservoice entry.

Similar requests exists elsewhere in User Voice. Including a bug where members are receiving invitations even when their name has not been included in the Channel meeting details. Need to vote all of these up to get them combined into one.

Microsoft provided a 'workaround' for this which is some PowerShell that needs to be run on each individual TEAM every time a new external user is added to its members list. Yes. EVERY TIME and, to top it off, the script must be run by a Global Admin. Yea, right, our GA is going to want to be in this loop in order to maintain an update, consistent experience for our users and their TEAMS. So, while much effort was made to come up with this workaround, it was utterly useless to us.
They need to fix it, plain and simple.

We are experiencing the same thing. We have spent many months on a ticket with Microsoft asking them to explain why ANYONE would receive an invitation if we didn't explicitly add them to the invite list for a channel meeting....internal or external and their answer is they recognize the inconsistency and inaccuracy of it but that it is that way 'by design' which is a lame answer.
This is clearly a bug that needs fixed. This needs to be voted up for sure but it is obscured by the fact that there are several uservoice entries referring to the same type of problem but worded and titled slightly differently. For example,
Not sure how to get this on their radar and fix list but it needs to be.

FYI Microsoft: while there are 98 votes, at the moment, for this suggestion/request, there are several iterations of this that need to be combined into one that would increase the number of people interested in this. I took a quick search and glance at just one page of similar references to the idea of using the same color coding available in Outlook for TEAMS meetings. My quick glance produced 161 votes. Still not a ton, but I bet there's more if I was able to accumulate that many in a matter of minutes?
Might do some good to be a bit more diligent about merging similar requests so that you get an accurate assessment of your users needs.
And, everyone else interested in this, keep the votes coming! Seems like a no-brainer to me. :)
