according to here, https://support.office.com/en-us/article/schedule-a-meeting-on-a-group-calendar-in-outlook-0cf1ad68-1034-4306-b367-d75e9818376a#bkmk_classic , there is an option to not send out a group invite email when entering a group calendar event. But I can't see this option when I  create one, how can I prevent a group email going out to all in the group?

Thank you

Hi Ripthorn,

As you post this thread on office 365 for business category and your thread title containing “ OWA Group Calendar”, my understanding is that you are using group calendar in the Outlook Web App ( OWA : https://outlook.office365.com/owa/). Please clarify if I misunderstand your text.  If you create a meeting in your office 365 group calendar, when you compose the event items, you can uncheck  the option “  Send a meeting invitation to group members” to prevent sending out the meeting invitation like this:

For the URL you shared, this article is introducing how to schedule a meeting on a group calendar in the outlook 2016 desktop app, not the outlook web app (OWA). As you can see “ If you schedule an appointment rather than a meeting, the appointment will only show on the group calendar and not the individual calendars of each group member” at the end of article.  When you create an appointment not a meeting in the outlook client, the appointment event will be save in the group calendar and it won’t send invitations to other group members. In other words, if you create group meetings in the outlook client, the invitations will be send to your group members.

Regards,

Oliver
