To uninstall the Meet Now icon from the Start Menu and Taskbar, you can follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type “gpedit.msc” (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Local Group Policy Editor.

5. Double-click on the policy to modify its settings.
6. In the policy settings window, select the “Enabled” option and click on Apply, then OK.

It’s worth noting that the Local Group Policy Editor is only available in certain editions of Windows, such as Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education. If you are using Windows 10 Home, you may not have access to this feature.

If you don’t have access to the Local Group Policy Editor, there is an alternative method you can try using the Registry Editor. However, please note that modifying the registry can be risky if not done correctly, so it’s important to proceed with caution and create a backup of your registry before making any changes.

Here’s how you can use the Registry Editor to remove the Meet Now icon:

1. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type “regedit” (without quotes) and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
3. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
4. Right-click on the Explorer key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name the new value “NoMeetNow” (without quotes).
6. Double-click on the newly created NoMeetNow value and set its data to 1.
7. Close the Registry Editor.
