Windows 10: Stop adding Skype Call to my Calendar meetings

ReadyOrNot · Dec 22, 2021

Does anyone know how to stop the Windows Calendar app from automatically adding Skype to every meeting I create? Every time I set up a new meeting, as soon as I add an invitee, Calendar turns on the Skype Call option. This causes massive confusion for the invitees if I forgot to manually turn Skype Call off before hitting send. This is causing massive confusion for my team’s meetings and workflow. PLEASE does anyone know how to turn this off permanently? FYI, I’ve checked Settings>Apps and Features>Apps, and Skype isn’t even listed as an installed app so it’s not as simple as just unins

With Skype Meetings, you can quickly set up meetings and share a personalized URL that participants click to join the meeting. During the meeting, participants can IM, share their screen or PowerPoint presentation or use the laser pointer and whiteboard features to make it more engaging and productive. The meeting organizer also gets professional meeting controls such as the ability to mute the audience in order to be heard.

Anyone in the U.S. with a business email address and whose organization doesn’t already have Office 365 can sign up for free Skype Meetings at http://www.skype.com/meetings" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">. Once you sign up, you can set up meetings for up to 10 people for the first 60 days and up to 3 people thereafter. All you need is a device with an Internet browser, a microphone, speaker and camera, which are included on many devices.

If you have an Office 365 business subscription that includes Skype for Business, then you already have richer online meetings capabilities, such as the ability to conduct large group meetings for up to 250 people and the ability to IM anyone in your organization at any time—not just during meetings. In addition, Skype for Business is integrated with other Office 365 apps to enable you to do things like schedule a Skype meeting from your Outlook calendar, see your colleagues’ presence, and initiate an IM or start an audio or video conversation within apps like Outlook, Word and PowerPoint.

Start a free meeting today at go.skype.com/meetings.

If you don't have Skype installed on your desktop, we will open our Skype for Web client for your convenience. If you'd like, you can install Skype on your device as well.

What's the difference between Meet Now and Group Chats?

Meet Now chats can be quickly set up and shared with others in two easy steps. However, all new Meet Now chats will initially have the same title and profile picture. Tap or click on the Chat Header in your meeting and select the Edit

button to rename it and add a profile picture.

Group Chats are customized from the start since a group name is required and has you select participants first before creating it.
