Microsoft Teams: Integrate Chat notification with Meeting RSVP status

Updated May 28, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Teams users will soon be able to control how they get notified in meeting chats through RSVP to their meetings. When they decline a meeting, they will not receive notifications or see the chats in chat list; when they accept a meeting, they will receive notification for all new messages. This release of Microsoft Teams Meeting ID will be rolling out across Microsoft Teams Desktop, Mobile and Web and will provide an additional way for users to control their chat list by selecting which meetings they want to receive message updates from.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 161739

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: will begin rolling out early April 2025 (previously mid-March) and expect to complete by mid-April 2025 (previously late March). 

General Availability (Worldwide): will begin rolling out late April 2025 and expect to complete by early May.

General Availability (GCC): will begin rolling out late April 2025 and expect to complete by mid-May 2025.

General Availability (GCC High): will begin rolling out mid-May 2025 and expect to complete by late May 2025.

General Availability (DoD): will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

You will not receive notifications or see chats from meetings you declined. You will be able to set how you want to be notified for meetings you RSVP with Accept or Tentative from Microsoft Teams settings.

What you need to do to prepare:

You might want to notify your users about this new capability to control meeting chat notifications by RSVP to meetings.
