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:

    >> HERE is the REAL Solution:

    Hi Everyone - quite a few people on here missing the real issue: The problem is that when you have created the meeting AND saved it/sent it out, the "Don't host online" button disappears when you open the invite for editing. Without that button youc annto let O365 know that it is not a Teams meeting anymore. Even if you delete the invite text out of the meeting.

    People are suggesting in this forum item that you should delete and re-create the meeting without the invite and yes that will work, but is painful and can be time consuming depending on the meeting recurrence/history.

    The best solution: add the missing "Don't host online" button back into the Meeting Edit screen:

    1. Create a new meeting and set it to be a Teams meeting (if not auto-populated)
    2. As soon as the Teams meeting is added, there will be a ribbon button (likely under the “meeting” tab for “Don’t host online”
    3. Right click on the button and select “Add to Quick Access Bar”
    4. A cross will be added at the top left.
    5. You can now close the new meeting you created in (1)

    Now if you edit an invite with a Teams meeting link in there, the Quick Access Bar will allow you to remove it by clicking that cross (which represents the “Don’t Host Online” function.

    You're welcome

    Hello,

    I just read through all this but my problem is not being answered. 95% of the meetings I create should be Teams meetings so I really WANT to have the Calendar setting box checked to automatically create a meeting as a Teams meeting. But some meetings are not to be Teams OR Zoom meetings - they may have to be in person, or they are just a placeholder for something coming up.

    Basically, when I create these 5% of my meetings, I basically need to 'un-Teams' them. Is there any way to do this? Or do I have to leave the Callendar setting box checked, and then change the 95% of my meetings to Teams meetings? Seems kind of odd that you CAN'T click the Teams button to Unselect that it's a Teams meeting, since you CAN click it to go the other way and change a non-teams meeting to a teams meeting.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Jane,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community!

    Regarding "When I made an edit to the attendee list it automatically added in a Teams link", based on my experience, this will happen when you have the option “"add online meeting to all meetings" checkbox” selected in Outlook settings.

    Therefore, if you do not want to add teams meeting link automatically for calendar invites, it is recommended that you can click Settings > view all outlook settings > calendar > events and invitations > clear the "add online meeting to all meetings" checkbox, click Save and try creating an invitation to check the result.

    Hope above information helps :-)

    Best regards & Happy New Year!

    Jennifer

    I have the same issue. I have tried deleting it several times, and every time I send out the update it puts the TEAMS info back in the invite. Causes confusion every freaking week, no matter how many times I tell people to use the ZOOM link.
