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

Anonymous

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:

    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.

    This web page explains how to remove the Teams link -- you need to use the full outlook app, not Outlook Online, as far as I can see, but it worked for me.

    I'm also having this problem (same as Jane and the other posters). There appears to be a bug in the Teams meeting plug-in that prevents the invite from fully removing the meeting. I have tried to remove the Teams meeting from my desktop app and online by clearing out the Teams meeting details from the Description and by clearing out the Location field. No success.

    I hope MS can prioritize this bug as it makes online meeting management very confusing.

    Hi Jennifer, you do actually still have the same problem as Jane. The issue is the button/box that says "Join" - that is the Teams meeting, not the new added Zoom meeting. The Join button is always a Teams meeting, and many of us are looking for a way to remove that Join button.

    I myself have updated my calendar settings both in my desktop app and the web version of Outlook to NOT automatically add online meetings, for the very reason that you cannot remove the Join button once it is added to an invite - and I still am having problems with some meetings automatically putting a Join button on my invite despite not ever having had a Teams meeting added to the invite.
