Changing the organiser of a Teams Meeting
PatrickP2021 The co-org. meeting role is about to rollout. You have the roadmap id above.
This is what to expect.
Co-organizers will be displayed as additional organizers on the meeting roster, and they will have most of the capabilities of an organizer in the meeting.
Co-organizers can do the following:
- Access and change meeting options
- Bypass the lobby
- Admit people from the lobby during a meeting
- Lock the meeting
- Present content
- Change another participant’s meeting role
- End the meeting for all
Co-organizers cannot do the following:
- Create & manage breakout rooms
- View & download attendance reports
- Manage the meeting recording
- Edit the meeting invitation
- Remove or change the Organizer role
ChristianJBergstrom I believe all the "cannot" are the most essential functions required for co-orgs. It really doesn't seem there is a need for the "rollout" as what is needed is still restricted to just the organizer.
ChristianJBergstrom - I tried to find a topic to upvote, but the link provided earlier by one of the responses does not lead to any voting. Is there any existing topic we could upvote? I mean people are coming and leaving and workaround to cancel and recreate recurring meetings when someone leaves the team (not the company!) is not a solution. That way we also loose meeting chat history etc.
So this would really be very appreciated if some activity would be done to be able to change meeting organizer.
ChristianJBergstrom We have a weekly meeting set in teams but the person who set this up is no longer with the company and I need to make myself the Organizer. Is this something that can be done or how can the series be canceled so I can redo the meeting series.
- You've just answered your own question in the last sentence. But I'm afraid you have to reach to an administrator for help with a cancellation.
ChristianJBergstrom - I have a meeting series that was created by one of the owners of a team in a Team's General Channel. That person has now left the company and the other owners of the team are not able to download the attendance report. We also had a huge issue today where attendees were clicking on the same link and being directed to two different meetings - one the actual meeting and one a cancelled series. Is there a way as the Owner of a team to download the attendance report of the meeting that was created by the separated employee or does the series need to be cancelled and rescheduled?
