Tentative calendar invites not displaying in Outlook for Mac

When I'm sent an invite to a calendar event in Outlook for Mac, nothing displays in my calendar until I confirm the invitation. I'm missing meetings because of this - invites get caught up in my inbox and are seen too late. It also makes scheduling quite difficult as I can't see when potential meetings are.

When I used Outlook in a PC environment, these would be automatically displaying as 'tentative' in my calendar; they are also displaying in Teams and Outlook Online. How can I enable these for the Outlook Mac application? Previous advice I've found is to enable the Automatically add events to my calendar form email" option, but this no longer seems to be available.

Hi Pappga,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft community.

Based on your description, I tried to test and reproduce your issue from my side. 

I sent my calendar invite as below.

Without accepting the meeting, I was able to see the meeting appearing in the Calendar page in both the classic Outlook for Mac and the New Outlook for Mac. Please kindly check if you have selected the correct account in the Calendar page if you have added multiple accounts to your Outlook for Mac.

Hope it helps! Thank you.

For your reference:

Stay safe & Sincerely,

Qian
