M365 Changelog: Offline meetings in Microsoft Teams

MC535261 – For events such as personal appointments, lunch break slots on calendar, and in-person meetings, you can now create a true appointment in Teams calendar by turning off the online toggle for a meeting.

What to expect: By default, all meetings created from teams will be teams online meeting. The toggle is currently available only for private meetings and appointments. Offline events will not create chat thread and other teams meeting artifacts that are tightly coupled with teams’ online meetings.
