   For recurring meetings, be sure to choose whether you’re cancelling just one meeting or the whole series. Double-check before confirming.

2. Forgetting to notify attendees
   Teams sends notifications automatically, but if you don’t add a message, your attendees won’t know why the meeting was cancelled.

3. Meeting still shows on synced calendar
   If your calendars are synced with Outlook or Google, it might take a moment for the change to reflect. Refresh your calendar to verify.

4. Trying to cancel a meeting you didn’t create
   If you’re not the organizer, you won’t see the “Cancel Meeting” option. Ask the organizer to remove or cancel it.
