Can you change a Teams meeting to a non-Teams meeting?

Nina Anand 11

I created a recurring meeting and accidentally added it as a Teams meeting, but we wanted to use Zoom for it. People are confused about whether to use Teams/Zoom. Is there a way to just turn off Teams or do I have to cancel and create a new meeting?

It's best to cancel it, and you'd probably want to "end" the corresponding meeting chat in Teams (or boot all participants out of it).

As michev said above, you need to cancel this Teams meeting in your Teams calendar.

It's annoying that Teams activates and converts the event unprompted, whenever you add other parties in scheduling assistant tab, and you must then use the Don't Host Online button under the Meeting tab.

I want to bump this comment. Teams will make something an online meeting by default. Then, there is no way to change it except to cancel the meeting? This is awful. Sometimes you really cannot cancel a meeting that was difficult to arrange and expect people to take that the right way. This really much be addressed.
