Has Office 365 deprecated Skype's dedicated meeting space?
When I create a new Skype Meeting in Outlook 2016 using an Office 365 mailbox I no longer see an option for dedicated meeting space. When I use my on-premise mailbox with an on premise Skype server I see the dedicated meeting space. Has Microsoft removed the feature from Office 365? Can the dedicated meeting space be re-enabled?

Essentially, we had dedicated conference IDs on premise and we have lost the option after migrating to Office 365. I expected the Meeting Options in Office 365 to resemble the on-premise options (see below).
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Open Outlook 2016. Go to your calendar.
- In the ribbon, click New Skype Meeting.
- In the ribbon of the new meeting, click Meeting Options.

You get a single one in O365, you cannot change it/create new one, thus the option is not available.
