    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.
