Schedule Teams meetings for other people without attending

I understand that it’s complicated. As you have anonymous users, federated users and guest users. Then you have the teams policies and the meeting settings and meeting options. For the record the co-organizer role is scheduled for general availability in September.

Which user?
Gosh, no wonder everyone is giving up. There is always one more step to do. I am a relatively techhy small business owner but the number of micro steps buried deep in an admin center is very off-putting. I hope a business friendly fix for this will be put into the roadmap as the use case for this is I suspect quite common. For me I think I will just ask someone else to set up the meeting while I am on holiday but thanks for trying

You need to assign that policy to your user too. Go under Users in TAC. After that has been done you have to wait a couple of hours, perhaps even until tomorrow.

All I could do was to creat a policy, and i that policy I let anonymous people start a meeting. THat policy was then added to my list of standard policies (which must be MS default ones). Having done all of that it still doesnt work. I left it an hour before trying again in case it takes time to work its way through microsoft servers but still no joy.

You have to enter the meeting policy being used. Most likely the Global. Scroll down and change the setting. Can also use PowerShell https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/skype/set-csteamsmeetingpolicy?view=skype-ps
