Is it necessary for all attendees to respond to Calendar invites for a meeting to be scheduled?

Meeting invites can be sent and the meeting can be scheduled regardless of whether all attendees respond. When a meeting organizer sends out calendar invites, those invites can be added to the calendar of all attendees automatically. Even if some invitees do not respond, the organizer is still able to hold the meeting, and it can be noted that some people may not attend based on their lack of response.

This approach allows flexibility for the organizer to proceed with scheduling the meeting based on preliminary availability indications or personal discretion, rather than waiting for every participant to confirm their attendance. It helps facilitate quicker scheduling, ensuring that important discussions or decisions are not delayed due to the need for all attendees to respond.
