Change owner of meeting when user has left
Hi! Is it possible to change the owner of a series of regular Teams meetings when the owner has already left the company so that they can be allowed to edit time etc.? Thanks!
Hello, not out of the box. At least not yet, but soon there will be a welcomed feature for these scenarios in which I hope it can be resolved from the user perspective.

So for now you need to reach out the IT admin who can add permissions on the said users mailbox (if it's still there) and remove them so another organizer can reschedule.Let me also add that the same procedure can be used if it's a group mailbox involved.
This is an obvious requirement. The only reason to use a Teams Channel to create meetings is to ensure that everybody has access to the meeting and channel owners can make changes, regardless of any changes to staffing, etc. Surely the Team or Channel should be the meeting organiser, not the poor schmuck who happened to create it in Teams.
