I am the meeting organizer, but Teams will not allow me to access Meeting Options
You are absolutely correct about the phenomenon. This is exactly what happens to me. And I suspect your assumption about the bug in the Teams Add-On for Outlook is also correct.
A year and a half later and Microsoft hasn't fixed it. I still have the same problem.
JimbotronInteresting to see your experience reinforcing that of @StevenMunden !
I think the fact that the Teams client doesn't allow more than one enterprise O365 account is an indicator of the root of the problem.
Microsoft assumed people will only ever use Teams with one and only one enterprise O365 account. So, the Outlook add-on just assigns the meeting organizer based on the account you've used to log in to the Teams client, rather than the account/calendar where you create the meeting in Outlook. The weird thing is that the correct account shows up as the organizer when you view the meeting in the Teams client, but it tells you you're not the organizer if you try to change settings, and it won't let you start the call. This has led to many frustrating experiences for my customers, and is not a good look.
In the end, I uninstalled the Teams client. I use teams only from within Edge. And I create calendar meetings only from within Teams within Edge. Until they fix this bug, it's the safest way to avoid having a meeting with all of your clients waiting and you can't start it.
- Agreed, Microsoft's bizarre assumption that people will only use Teams within a single 365 tenant was a huge failure at the design stage, and has resulted in a raft of problems as well as huge inconvenience to users having to log out of and into different tenants to access them.
I've had issues with Edge InPrivate instances not fully isolating authentications to different 365 tenants, although Chrome Profiles handle this fine. Maybe I should test that in Edge again since both browsers are now so closely related. I can't recall whether I last tested this in Edge's early or pre-Chromium days!I've had issues with Edge InPrivate instances not fully isolating authentications to different 365 tenants, although Chrome Profiles handle this fine
I would not mind betting this is to do with your computer being signed in with an org account, and Edge helpfully automatically signing you into that account, even if that's not what you want. Similar issue really, affecting those that use multiple org accounts. I have about twenty due to the nature of my work, it's hard work!
