Use this interactive demo to learn how to cancel a scheduled meeting in Microsoft Teams.

Quick summary

To cancel a Teams meeting, open your Calendar, select the meeting, and click the Cancel meeting button — you can also include a cancellation reason to notify all invitees automatically.


Steps

  1. Select the Calendar icon from the left side corner of Microsoft Teams.
  2. Choose the meeting you'd like to cancel from your calendar.
  3. Click the Expand icon to open the full meeting details view.
  4. Click on 'Cancel meeting' at the top left corner of the meeting detail screen.
  5. Optionally, provide a cancellation reason to inform invitees, then click 'Cancel meeting' to confirm.

📌 Why this matters

Cancelling a Microsoft Teams meeting correctly ensures all invitees receive timely notification and the event is removed from everyone's calendar automatically. The built-in cancellation reason field lets organizers communicate context directly through Teams, reducing follow-up messages and confusion. This feature is essential for remote and hybrid teams who rely on Teams as their primary scheduling and communication hub. Knowing how to cancel meetings quickly helps teams maintain accurate calendars and protect productive work time.
