How to See Who Accepted a Meeting in Outlook

Outlook has a tracking feature that allows you to see the responses of contacts you invite to a meeting. This feature lets you see who accepted, declined, or didn’t respond to an invite.

This post will show you how to see who accepted a meeting invite in the Outlook desktop, web, and mobile app.

Checking who accepted a meeting in Outlook Desktop

    • Accepted: attendee accepted the meeting invite.
    • Declined: attendee declined the meeting invite.
    • Tentative: attendee is unsure whether or not they will attend.
    • None: attendee hasn’t responded to the meeting invite yet.
