How to Assign the Co-Organizer Role to Microsoft Teams Meetings
- Jan 12, 2022
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
I've been thinking about workarounds for the issue where co-organizers can't update the details of a meeting. Here's what I have come up with. All suggestions or other ideas are welcome!
Working Around the Teams Meeting Co-Organizer Role Limitations
The Teams meeting co-organizer role helps to run smooth meetings, but co-organizers can’t do everything an organizer can. How to get around the limitations? Well, one way is to use an old technique to schedule important meetings using a special account. There might be others, but that’s the one described here.
