"Multiple staff This feature allows you to create a service with multiple staff members. The booking will be scheduled with all of the assigned staff members of the service. You can refer to this service as N:1 booking service.
For Multiple staff, you can only create a booking when all assigned staff members are available to attend."
LaurenWinterI am not sure, but have you tried creating a flow with PowerAutomate?
If meeting is created then add your manager?
I have a similar problem and will try this...
