How to turn off meeting request replies in Outlook

(Article ID: 001580)
Summary

You can send a meeting request and not track the attendees' responses. Turning off response tracking can be useful when you send a meeting request to a large number of attendees and tracking attendance is not necessary.

To turn prevent Outlook from sending a Meeting Request message deselect the "Request Responses" option in the Actions menu while setting up a meeting.

Step-by-step instructions

While setting up a new Meeting Request do the following to turn off the Request Responses function:

  1. Click the Actions menu and click the "Request Reponses" option. A check mark next to this option will set Outlook to send the meeting response requests. If the option does not have a check mark next to it, then meeting response requests will not be sent.
  2. Create your meeting request, and setup any other options you want.
  3. Click Send.

NOTE: If you turn off the "Request Responses" option, you will not be able to track whether attendees have accepted, tentatively accepted, or declined. The Tracking tab for the meeting will display None for the response for all of the attendees.
