How do I remove the Teams meeting link from a calendar invite?!

I purposefully made sure that it was not toggled on. It is for an external meeting so we have to use zoom instead of teams as everyone doesn't have access to teams. When I made an edit to the attendee list it automatically added in a Teams link. I can't remove it and I've searched and searched for a way to remove it. Please help!

Thanks!
Jane

Hello Jane,

You can simply click on the Description field and press Ctrl + A to select and then delete Teams meeting link, then use the Zoom meeting Add-ins to insert a link for Zoom meeting and click Send, when the attendees receive the updated meeting invitation email, this meeting will display as a Zoom meeting rather than Teams meeting on their calendar. Please see:

    Hi Jennifer,

    Thanks again for the quick reply. I am able to add the new link, but the "teams" meeting does not go away. That is the problem. In your picture #3. you can see that it still says "Join Teams Meeting" to the right of the zoom link you put in. Then when you open the calendar invite the zoom link is there, but it also still has the Join teams. It appears to be locked in on yours as well. Please see below how it has the zoom link but also has the "Join" link which is to teams. It seems impossible to delete that teams link, and I don't understand why you can't unlink them. If you can help to find that please let me know!

    Hello Jane,

    Thanks for your sharing of the picture, I checked this on my side and I do not have the same problem as yours after inserting the Zoom meeting link and send out the updates. Please see:

    Given this situation, please try to send the updated meeting invitation email to your personal account and then sign into your personal account to check the whether it is a Zoom meeting.

    In the meantime, I will send you a test account via Private Message (PM), please sign into the test account and check if there is the same result after remove teams meeting information and insert the Zoom meeting link.

    By the way, for the existing meeting, if it still show as Teams meeting for external attendees, then to workaround it, you may send an email to these external attendees and tell them that they can also join teams meeting without a Teams account and share the following document with them: Join a meeting without a Teams account.

    Best regards,

    Jennifer

    These steps technically work, but how do I prevent Teams invites getting added in the first place? I have specifically setup recurring meetings to use Zoom but am finding Teams got activated without my intervention. Manually deleting the information for each meeting seems more labor intensive on me when the problem of Teams links being generated is actually a system-based issue.
