Change Default for Copilot Automatic Room Rebooking Setting in Outlook?
- Sep 15, 2025
I would like to share the response i received from Microsoft support, since i can imagine more people will land here while desperately searching for a solution.
Microsoft 365 Copilot’s automatic room rebooking - moving meetings to alternate rooms when the original is unavailable - is on by default and cannot be disabled globally.- Default Behavior: Enabled for Copilot users, it automatically rebooks declined rooms for single and recurring meetings.
- User Control Only: Users can turn it off per meeting in Outlook. No global admin setting exists.
- Microsoft Places: Part of Microsoft Places, it helps manage room conflicts automatically.
- Admin Feedback: Many admins have requested a global option, but as of March 2025, Microsoft has not provided one.
What You Can Do:
- Educate Users: Show them how to disable rebooking when needed.
Hi
I just raised a MS support ticket asking how i, as an admin, can disable this setting as default for our users and the user can activate this themself. As per now (March 2025) there is no possibility to disable this for all users. The user must disable this per meeting / event 😒. Really hope a setting for this will be available for us as admins.
