Canceling a Zoom meeting

If you want to cancel an unnecessary Zoom meeting, you can remove it from the web portal, desktop app, or in your mobile app. You can delete a single meeting or recurring meeting, or reschedule it to a later date.

If you set up calendar integration, you can also remove or cancel a meeting from your calendar. If you delete a scheduled meeting from your calendar, Zoom will also remove it from the desktop and web client.

Note: You can recover deleted meeting sessions within 7 days from the Zoom web portal. After 7 days, meetings will be permanently deleted.
