Rae_Jay Hello, these are the details of the co-org role.
Co-organizers can do the following:
- Access and change meeting options

- 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

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

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.
