Precisely where in Microsoft Project do you see this number of hours
assigned to each resource? Let us know and we will try to help.

I'm not sure the exact name of this screen, but when you select Window >
Split from the top menu with this recurring task highlighted, each resource
has 689h assigned to them. The 689h also appears associated with this Task
in the Resource Usage screen, as well as the Task Usage screen, showing 8h
per day of work associated with this Task.

Hi,

What if you invite the people to EACH individual meeting instead of the
recurring task?

You are confusing Hours of Work and Hours of Duration. The rolled-up
recurring task for a 1 hour per day daily meeting extending over 4 months
does indeed have a summary duration of ~680 hours, the total potential
working time in the calendar between the start of the first meeting and the
end of the last meeting. But the work of a resource assigned to it is only
~80 man-hours, the time actually in the meetings. You should see about 80
hours per resource in the Work tabel in the REsource sheet, the task usage
vew, or the resource usage view.

All due respect, but that's not the case. Each individual resource is
showing 689h assigned to them from this one task. It shows up under their
names in the resource sheet, the task usage
vew and the resource usage view. If there's a way to send you a screenshot,
let me know and I'll show you.
