# Removing meetings from your calendar
<a name="delete-from-calendar"></a>

To schedule recurring meetings, organizers use a calendar application, such as Google Calendar or the Microsoft Outlook Add-in for Amazon Chime. You leave a recurring meeting by deleting it from your calendar. For example, if you use the Outlook Add-in, you follow these steps:

**To delete a recurring meeting**

1. On your calendar, choose an instance of the recurring meeting.

1. On the **Meeting Series** tab, choose **Delete**.

1. On the menu that appears, under **Series**, choose one of the notification options:
   + Edit the Response before Sending
   + Send the Response Now
   + Do Not Send a Response

If the meeting continues to call you, follow the steps in the next section.

# Stopping calls from deleted meetings
<a name="stop-calls"></a>

If your receive auto calls from a meeting series that you deleted, you use the Amazon Chime desktop client or web app to stop the calls.

**Note**  
You can only follow these steps at a specific time, from 30 minutes before the meeting starts until the meeting ends. For example, if a meeting occurs weekly, you need to wait until 30 minutes before that meeting starts to complete the steps below. 
Don't follow these steps to remove yourself from a single meeting in a series. Also, don't follow these steps if you organize or host a meeting. Instead, see [Canceling meetings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/chime/latest/ug/cancel-meeting.html).

**To remove yourself from a recurring meeting**

1. In Amazon Chime, choose **Home** .

1. A list of **In progress meetings** and **Upcoming meetings** appears.

1. Select a meeting, and choose **Remove me from series**.
**Note**  
If you don't see this command, do the following:  
Wait until 30 minutes before the meeting starts. The command remains available until the meeting ends.
During that time, refresh the **Home** window. To do that, go to another part of Amazon Chime, such as chat, then return to the **Home** window.

1. When prompted, confirm the deletion.

Amazon Chime stops auto-calling you for the remaining meetings in the series, and your name stops appearing on the meeting roster.

**Note**  
If you ask to be removed but you're still on the calendar invitation, you may receive auto calls if someone updates the event. To ensure removal, contact the meeting organizer and ask to be removed from the meeting series.
