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.

Hey guys,
what a shame that it can not be turned off by default.
We also have this problem with classic Outlook, but there is no option to disable this feature.
Maybe we miss something, so does anyone know if there is a function to disable it in classic Outlook?
Appreciate any answer.
