									<p>One of my clients uses Teams for internal communication and Zoom for external sales presentations. They have been plagued with Teams meetings being automatically added to their Outlook calendar events.</p><p>I personally understand the annoyance of Microsoft’s push to use Teams at every opportunity, despite the development of Teams, it is still not the best choice for every situation and having it automatically create every event as a Teams meeting can be beyond annoying.</p><p>It took me quite a while to find out the best way to deal with this and I am sharing it so you dont have to go through what I did!</p>								</div>
