    Go to the invite list of your meeting, click on the up arrow next to the name--> Choose Optional

    Hope this helps :)

    Add all attendees in the To: field

    Then click on a Scheduling tab and then on left side under all Attendees click on the purple UP arrow and you'll see all the options. (Required, Optional, Resource and Remove)
