Will a co-organizer be able to modify / edit a meeting text and/or datetime?

When co-organizers were announced I was expecting (from what I read) that co-organizers will also be able to modify / edit meeting details (not te be confused with meeting options). Meaning the ability to 

  • Change the invitation / meeting title and text.
  • Change the datetime of the meeting.

Will this ever be available, is this in development or on the roadmap? 

Otherwise the whole co-organizer functionality is completely useless in my opinion and a really a pig in a poke w.r.t. to what Microsoft said / advertised it would deliver and what Microsoft actually delivered.

Another situation of ...

    It's 2025 and we still need a co-organizer to have the same permissions as the organizer.

    • Cancel meetings

      Pushed to October 2024. No answer on if this applies to Meetings.

       

      Amazing how the first sentence from @Tim_Bailen_MKE, states "This is coming soon according to Microsoft Message Center post MC688109. It's associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 168524."  But the Roadmap is for Webinars and Live Events.  NOT MEETINGS.  Is anyone listening?  At all?  

  • This is coming soon according to Microsoft Message Center post MC688109. It's associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 168524.

     

    The message center post says: "So far co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting options, view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like title, date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now they can! Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event like the organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full parity of experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event."

     

    When this will happen:

    Targeted release: We will begin rolling out early June 2024 (previously mid-April) and expect to complete by mid-June 2024 (previously late April).

     

    General Availability: We will begin rolling out mid-June 2024 (previously late April) and expect to complete by early July 2024 (previously early May).

      However, it will be limited to "webinars" and "Townhalls".

        PatrickFFM Could you please advise how a meeting can be tagged as a webinar or a townhall? I tried to find it in outlook and couldn't see it. Thank you!

      These are great news! Thank you for sharing!
  • WYellow Hello, I fully understand the disappointment not being able to edit the original booking, but at least there's some nice and useful additions in the co-org role.

     

    Co-organizer can:

    • 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

    Co-organizers cannot:

     

    • Create & manage breakout rooms
    • View & download attendance reports
    • Manage the meeting recording
    • Edit the meeting invitation
    • Remove or change the Organizer role

      ChristianJBergstrom thanks for responding. The list you mention is the same as the website I linked to.

      Unfortunately however, this is simply not what the community has been asking for so long. 

      But do you know an the answer to the question?
      Will the functionality of being able to edit a meeting (text invite/datetime) ever be available, is this in development or on the roadmap? 

      And all the options which are listed the co-organizer can do, as mentioned, I frankly do not really care and are utterly useless. We never lock a meeting, anyone can admit people from the lobby, anyone can present content, we do not need to end a meeting, we just leave.
