Google Hangouts video call links appear in notes field

All events on Google Calendar that have a Google Hangouts video call associated with them will display the following text appended to the notes field:

-::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~: Please do not edit this section of the description.

This event has a Google Hangouts video call. Join: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/calendar/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz?hs=121 -:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-

You cannot remove this text from the notes field if an event contains a Google Hangouts video call link. However, you can prevent Google from automatically adding video call links to each new event by logging into Google Calendar in your web browser and selecting:

  • Google Calendar > Settings > Automatically add video calls to events I create > No

If you are a G Suite user, there is a similar setting that your Administrator can configure, as described here.
