Hi All,
We started using/encouraging users to use Teams meetings instead of Skype and recently we came across an interesting behavior. If you set up a recurring Teams Channel Meeting and would like to cancel just 1 occurrence, it is not possible(at least I could find that option). I tested with some old teams and I could go to the group calendar in OWA and it shows me an option to cancel meetings, but in all the newly created teams, I do not have any option to cancel the meeting.

SolutionHmm just tested this. Should work by
1.) Going to the calendar
2.) Selecting the meeting and edit
3.) Edit this instance
4.) Cancel meeting
I did this in a recurring meeting specifically in a channel (general channel in the Team).
Best, Chris

@adam deltinger From outlook, it only allowed me to decline or delete the occurrence.

But, for the record, @Christopher Hoard it doesn't make sense that the same meeting series behaves differently between the channel and the calendar ;)

@Christopher Hoard I thought any member of the Team could cancel a Teams meeting from the Teams app, since the Team is the organizer of the meeting. It appears that only the creator of the meeting (just like in Outlook) can cancel meetings.

Agree with@FondaK
That's a frequent scenario in our case. Whoever set up the meeting is out and nobody else on the team can change the series. Would make a lot of sense to have the Team / Channel own the meeting.

A workaround I use is to just update the start date of the occurrence to the next occurring meeting. This however doesn't help when you want to cancel a single event in the future and still have your regular meetings in the meantime.
