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
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.

Co-organizers cannot:
- Create breakout rooms
- View & download attendance reports
- Manage the meeting recording
- Edit the meeting invitation including the scheduling
- Remove or change the Organizer role
- Yes I share the sentiment.
Is there an enhancement request yet for 'Co-organizers should be able to create breakout rooms', if not where can we make one?ISA_Simonian The feedback portal is here: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/ad198462-1c1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472
- TIL that guest users can be assigned as co-organizers, but do NOT get any of the benefits. Guests cannot bypass the lobby, manage breakout rooms, etc.
