Forward Meeting As Email
Did you know that forwarding a meeting invitation notifies the meeting organizer that you sent the email to another recipient? Did you also know that if someone responds to that invitation, the response goes to the meeting organizer and not to you? When you use Outlook to forward a meeting to someone that was not originally invited to the meeting, Outlook sends a meeting forward notification to the meeting organizer. When a meeting request is forwarded to a new attendee, the meeting organizer receives a meeting notification and the new attendee is added to the organizer’s meeting. Doing this, however, doesn't alert the existing attendees of the added attendee. If desired, you can forward a meeting invite as an email instead.

Generally speaking, it’s easy to forward a meeting invitation with clicking Meeting > Forward in Outlook. However, it will automatically send a notification to the meeting organizer by this way. Here, this article will introduce a way to forward a meeting as normal email, without notifying the meeting organizer in Outlook.
