How to Assign the Co-Organizer Role to Microsoft Teams Meetings
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
The GA for this option was moved from March '22 to May '22. As May is almost over, does anyone know when this will become available for everyone? It's a much needed option!
AshleyVanDM An updated rollout timeline was announced in a post (MC292796) in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center's Message Center, yesterday, May 26th. The date hasn't been updated in the Microsoft Roadmap item (81391) yet, which isn't surprising since Microsoft is horrible about keeping information consistent and up to date in the Roadmap.
From the Message Center post:
"When this will happen: We expect this feature to begin rolling out in late May (previously mid-May) and expect the rollout to be complete by mid-June (previously late May)."
- Yesterday, the Microsoft Roadmap showed a status change for this item from "In Development" to "Rolling Out." I'm now seeing the option in Public Preview in my tenant.
I already seen that it's been rolled out.
but the co-organizer option only appear for the new meeting, the old meetings (which set recurring) dont have the option.
i thought the role co-organizer can have the privilege to change the schedule of the meeting (when the original organizer unable to change/left the company or else..)
rcdp_ Thanks for flagging the issue with recurring meetings - that is something to keep in mind!
Unfortunately the Co-organizer role doesn't include the ability to edit the meeting - such as change time and date - which is sooooo disappointing as this is the most critical function that we need.
