Help with getting Two Teams Class Meetings

Aaron Olivas 0

Good Morning,

I currently have a two series of Teams Meetings for my Students in different class times and have seemed to "Merged?" together. Looking at both meetings One in the AM and one in the PM, they both seem to have the same Meeting ID and Password on the invites. I am trying to figure out how to get one of the meetings new ID and Passwords to separate them.

Hi Aaron,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, the two meeting series (your morning and afternoon sessions) are currently using the same meeting link.

At this time, there is no option to manually change the Meeting ID or passcode of an existing meeting.

To separate them into two different meeting series, please create a new meeting series for either the AM or PM class by following these steps:

Open Teams > Calendar.

Select New event or New meeting.

Create a completely new meeting for either the AM or PM class.

Set up the recurrence schedule as needed.

Add the students to the new meeting.

Send the new meeting invitation.

Check to make sure that the new meeting has a different Meeting ID and passcode from the old meeting.

Cancel the corresponding old meeting series to prevent students from accidentally using the wrong meeting link.

Additionally, you should avoid duplicating the old meeting or copying the Teams joining information from the old meeting to the new one, as this may cause the joining information, including the Meeting ID and meeting link, to remain the same.

I hope this information is helpful.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

I look forward to continuing the conversation.

Answer 1

Create the PM class as a brand-new recurring meeting—not by editing, copying, forwarding, or reusing the existing invitation—so Teams generates a new meeting ID, passcode, and join link.

Re-create the PM series

Open Microsoft Teams → Calendar → New meeting.
Enter a distinct title, such as Class Name – PM Session.
Set the PM date and time.
Select Does not repeat, then choose the required daily, weekly, or custom recurrence.
Add the PM students or the appropriate class channel.
Re-enter the description and other details manually. Do not copy the old invitation body, because it may contain and reuse the old Teams join link.
Select Send. Teams creates the new meeting and adds it to the students’ calendars.^1^
Open the new PM meeting from the calendar and compare its meeting ID and passcode with the AM meeting. They should now be different.

Teams does not provide a supported “change meeting ID” control for an existing meeting. Editing, copying, or reusing an existing meeting can retain its Teams link; a separately created meeting is required for a unique identity.^2^

Remove the old PM series

After confirming the replacement invitation reached the PM students:

Open the old PM meeting series as the organizer.
Cancel the entire old PM series and send the cancellation.
Keep the AM series unchanged.

Cancelling the obsolete series prevents students from seeing two PM appointments or joining through the shared credentials. Only the meeting organizer can send an update or cancellation to all attendees.^3^

If the AM and PM times are actually occurrences within one recurring series, sharing a meeting ID is expected: recurring Teams meetings use the same join identity across their occurrences. Separate AM and PM credentials require two independently created recurring series.^4^
