As long as you create and send a meeting invite through your primary calendar folder, Outlook automatically keeps track of everyone who has accepted the meeting.
You can easily find a list of such attendees under the Tracking section. Plus, it even displays all the people who have rejected the meeting or haven’t responded yet.
With the list of each response, you can inform people who haven’t accepted the meeting yet or even reschedule the meeting if required.

Can Other Attendees View My Response to an Outlook Meeting Invite?
In short, yes. By default, each attendee can view each other’s responses under the Tracking section.
However, if you are the meeting owner, you can enable the Hide attendees list option to prevent attendees from doing so. On Mac, you can find it inside “Attendees options.”
But note that this option isn’t available on the classic Outlook desktop app on Windows. To get such an option, you have to switch to the new Outlook app.
