Why do Modified outlook meetings get canceled?

For some reason, when the owner of an event makes any sort of change (adding/deleting a member or adding a url), the event gets canceled for me instead of just being modified. The owner even sees that everyone else in the event is still in it but for some reason, it got canceled just for me. any idea why the event gets canceled only for me when a modification occurs to an event?

    To answer your first question, I never make meeting invites. I only get invited to meeting invites. Do you want to try something like that though?

    No, we do not use sky for business, we use Zoom but that is only for calls. The only thing we do is add that zoom conference number in our meetings, but we still use Microsoft calendar. Pretty sure we never create any meetings from Zoom, all meetings are created in outlook calendar and then we just add the phone number for zoom in it.

    Hello Mitchell,

    Thanks for your information. Since we don't familiar with that third party conference service, can you please help us test the following two scenario and let us know the phenomenon?

    1. You make meeting invites and then update the meeting.
    2. Your colleague makes meeting invites and then update the meeting.

    Note: Please don't add the Zoom conference number in the meeting.

    Thanks for your time.

    Regards,

    Rudy

    Ok! for scenario 1, everything was fine. what I did, I made a meeting with someone and then after it was made, added someone else. the only difference we noted was that I did not have the option to only send to those affected.

    this is what it looked like for her when I sent out the update:

    Scenario 2... Something I noticed and will put in all the photos. No links to Zoom or anything was added.

    what we did step by step:

    1.someone (call her Ramsey) made a meeting with just me. everything looked fine.

    2.she added someone named Jordan to this fake calendar invite. she sent to only those affected but I still got an email. the email THIS time was NOT a cancellation but a email to accept the new invite. I went ahead and pressed YES. 

    1. Then she went to go remove the person Jordan to see if I would get the cancellation BUT before removing her she noticed there all of a sudden was 2 of me in this photo

    1. She then removed only Jordan leaving only my two names. and I got a cancelation email that looks like this:5. She then wanted to delete the fake calendar meeting and this time it only showed only one of my names, not two as it did in step 3

    Hello Mitchell,

    Thanks for your information. It seems the two same names cause this issue. If you don't response that new invite in Scenario 2 and step 2, are there two same names appear?

    Meanwhile, we will do more research about this phenomenon, once getting any information, we will update you.

    Regards,

    Rudy

    No, the second name does not appear until I respond to the email asking me if I want to accept the modification to the calendar meeting invite. It is confusing to me why I am even getting that email that a person was added to the calendar invite when no one else gets that invite.
