Rae_Jay Hello, these are the details of the co-org role.
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
- Create & manage breakout rooms
To make co-organizers breakout room managers, you must first assign them the breakout room manager role.
Co-organizers cannot do the following:
Create & manage breakout rooms(updated, see above)- View & download attendance reports
- Manage the meeting recording
- Edit the meeting invitation
- Remove or change the Organizer role
That is during the meeting, most of things needed are covered with the co-org role. What is lacking are options before the meeting. Especially with a webinar and shared responsibility or the owner not being there all the time.
I heard the following today from a Product Manager for the Co-Organizer role:
"I wanted to provide an answer to your question: Yes, Co-organizers will be able to access and modify meeting options before, during, or even after the meeting -- just like the Organizer can."

m36five: I hope he's correct, that would be a great addition to Teams. Had troubles with it last week actually. Event organizer wasn't in on the day of the event, an due to a small timing mistake the ones presenting couldn't start the event earlier. Had to reset her password eventually to make things work. So really looking forward to this feature.
- Let's hope that the product manager is right! All of the existing information says that this won't be within the role... I guess we have to wait and see!
