Choose an organiser for meetings booked in bookings
I am using Bookings to create events for multiple people that a member of staff then hosts as online meeting in Teams. However, as the staff member is not the meeting Organiser (this is the bookings app I assume as it shows the organiser as the company) The person running the meeting cannot access the necessary features as they are not the organiser! any ideas how if there is a way to change this default behaviour in books?
I managed to get this working. The trick is to add the Booking account's calendar to your Outlook calendars, modify the permissions of the calendar and give yourself Edit permissions. Then you can edit the meetings on the calendar.
To add co-organizers open up a meeting in the outlook calendar and add the account to the list of Required users, then open the Teams Meeting Options. The users you added to the list should be in the dropdown for the co-organizers. When you're done click save on the Meeting Options window. You can then discard your changes on the calendar invite and the Teams Meeting Options will still be saved.
Thanks for the suggestion, sadly it doesn't work for me. I've tried this but still can't get to the meetings options as it says only the organiser can edit those settings. I'm not sure why Microsoft doesn't have the option to add the selected staff as co-organisers when bookings creates a meeting.
I'm instead going to see if there's a way to use Power Automate to create the meeting, and see if I can get it to make one of the selected staff the organiser, or at least, make them a co-organiser.- Hi, did you find out a way to do this?
