Channel calendar within a Team sending invites to random team members

We are a big group of people in one Team, within this team there are different channels where the big group of people is split into smaller teams.

We recently created a calendar within one of the channels to better coordinate meetings for that small group of people. However, all the Team members keep getting the calendar invites although they were not listed as attender in the invite (neither required nor optional). After this was pointed point, I went back to the calendar event and saw there were some members not belonging to that channel in the optional attendees although they were not listed when creating the calendar event. Note that more people than the randomly added to the optional attendees received the calendar invite.

I looked in the event and calendar settings and there is nothing about restricting the invitation to only listed members in the event.

Is there a way to address this or am I having the wrong expectations on the channel calendar?

    Hi, Maria. Thank you for coming to the forum. My name is Femi. It is worth noting that this is a user community, and we are all users here, much like yourself. While we strive to assist and share insights, we are not Microsoft directly.

    in my experience, this is caused by the Channel Calendar app automatically adding the Team’s email address to the required attendee's field when creating a new event. A possible workaround is to remove the Team’s email address manually before sending the invite.

    I hope this helps, let me know if this contradicts what you need. I remain helpful in answering any more of your questions.

    Best Regards,

    Femi.
