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.
Hey Brian,
were you able to resolve this?
We just stumbled over this setting which causes a mess with our rooms. Sadly i can't find any information how to disable this feature.
I'm not aware of any policy or global room config options to change the default behavior. I'm not an Exchange admin though, so I have limited direct visibility into some of those admin controls. If anyone else has learned of a good way to manage this setting globally, please share.
