Change meeting category default options

Question

When creating a new meeting in Teams and clicking the drop down button to select a category, a list of about six options appears that appear to be randomly selected. These don't bear any relation to the most commonly used categories I use, meaning I then have to click through to the list of all categories to find them. Is there a way to change what categories appear in that initial short list to save me a click each time?

Hello,&nbsp;I wasn't able to find any Microsoft documentation that explains how Teams selects the categories shown in that shortened category list when creating a meeting.Teams and Outlook use the same mailbox category list (the Outlook/Exchange Master Category List), so the categories available in Teams are the same ones defined for your mailbox.However, I could not find any Microsoft documentation describing whether the categories shown in the initial drop-down are based on recent usage, frequency of use, favorites, or whether they can be customized.Hope this helps
