Meeting Invitations in Outlook

Respond to meeting invitations

Response: You can respond to the meeting invitation by selecting one of the options. These options may look different, depending on how you are accessing Outlook.

As soon as you select a response, the meeting invitation in your email will be automatically deleted. (To learn how to find or retrieve a deleted invitation, see "Where did my invite go?" below.)

• Unless you decline the meeting, you will be able to view the meeting details in your calendar. Click the calendar icon in the lower-left or go to outlook.office.com/calendar.
  
• Then, double click on the corresponding event in your calendar to access the contents of the invite.
