As the meeting organizer, how do you restore a reoccurring canceled meeting that is connected to Teams. It did not go into the deleted folder.

Question

Hello everyone, I canceled a meeting series that I created by mistake on outlook. My account is also connected to Teams. I tried to see if I can restore the meeting by going into my deleted folder but it is not there. I only find the item in my 'sent' folder. All meeting participants see the item on their calendar as canceled. The meeting invite was completely deleted from my calendar (even past meetings that took place). Is there a way I restore the meeting? Would I also be able to regain all the past meeting invites? (Important note: I am a Mac user)

Answer 1

I had a very similar issue. I had a meeting. After it had been completed, I wanted to cancel all future meetings in the series. I canceled, but it canceled everything, including the ones that have already happened along with chat history and recordings. Is there a way to recover the meetings? I don't want to create new meetings, I just want to recover the history.

What I tried.

Deleted Items doesn't have the cancelation

I don't have a Trash Folder.

Recover items deleted ... does nothing.

This is extremely unfortunate. I erased the whole history with one click. This menu is confusing. Cancel series to me means cancel all future meetings, not past. At least you should agree that this message can't be interpreted differently.

Answer 2

Hi @Lina Vinas,

If the meeting item is not in the deleted folder, can you find it in the recoverable items?

Please access Outlook on the web and refer to the following screenshot:

If you cannot find it there either, to me it may not be possible to restore the recurring meeting.

And you may have to recreate it.
