Question

Microsoft Teams incorrect title of meeting

Brandon McGinnis 25

Hello, I have a user that is experiencing issues with Teams calendar invites. Attached is a picture of the invite. It was sent with Outlook.

When you join the meeting in Teams, the title reads a completely different meeting title and date. I have tested in the desktop and web version of Teams on multiple systems with the same result. I have updated and reset the cache. The issue persists.

Hi @Brandon McGinnis,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Q&A Forum and for sharing both the screenshot and video demonstration. We understand that the meeting title shown in Microsoft Teams differs from the title in the original Outlook calendar invite. We appreciate your efforts in testing across multiple systems and platforms.

To migrate this issue, we suggest these steps below:

Step 1: Create a new meeting link

Avoid copying or reusing old meeting invites. Instead, create a brand-new meeting from Outlook or Teams to ensure fresh metadata is used.

Step 2: Manually clear Microsoft Teams cache

Even if you've reset the cache, we recommend manually clearing it to ensure all cached data is removed.

Quit Microsoft Teams completely.
Open File Explorer and go to: C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams
Delete the contents of the following folders:
- Cache
- blob_storage
- databases
- GPUCache
- IndexedDB
- Local Storage
- tmp
Restart Microsoft Teams.

Step 3: Avoid recurring meetings

Recurring meetings may retain the original title across all instances.
Try scheduling a one-time meeting to test if the issue persists.

Step 4: Test with a different organizer

Have another user create and send a test meeting invite.
This helps determine if the issue is specific to the original organizer’s account.

Hi, new meetings invites are fine. The issue is this is happening for meetings that were created in the past. They are not re-occurring. Is there no resolution? They have many of meeting invites and they don't want to have to re-do their work. Thanks.

Hi @Brandon McGinnis,

Thanks for your follow-up and for sharing the video. We’ve reviewed the issue and confirmed that it affects older, non-recurring meetings created in Outlook. In Microsoft Teams, these meetings may show an incorrect title when joined, even though the original invite is correct.

This appears to be a sync issue between Outlook and Teams for legacy meeting data. Unfortunately, there’s currently no resolution to retroactively fix the titles in Teams without re-creating the meetings.

We understand redoing the invites is not ideal, especially with a large volume. Here are a few suggestions that may help you to migrate the issue:

Edit the meeting in Outlook: Making a small change (e.g., retyping the title or adjusting a detail) and saving it may prompt Teams to re-sync the meeting metadata.

Use Outlook as the source of truth: For affected meetings, we recommend referring to the Outlook calendar for the correct title and details.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. If this issue significantly impacts your workflow, we’d be happy to escalate it further or assist with exploring automation options to streamline updates.

Please let us know how you'd like to proceed or if there's anything else we can do to support you.

Warm regards,
