ChristianJBergstrom Thanks for the suggestion. We use Live Teams Meetings in a different way to most. I'm generally organising between 8-20 Teams Meetings for others in their Diaries a week. We don't have the time to get the organiser to go in and do this in advance, we have tried it and do it where we can but it's something that gets missed. I don't think I'm asking too much. If you have organised a Teams Meeting for 100 delegates and the Organiser if off sick that day, we still need to run from the original invitation that was sent out, up to 6-7mths in advance, as this is the link all the attendees will have.
Suggestion (Workaround): Use a functional account to set up those meetings (from Outlook on the Web [Outlook desktop does not work if there is another main account logged in into, as the meeting organizer in the view for the meeting options is always the main account] or Teams Desktop/Web [functional account logged into]), then share the credentials of this functional account with the "personal" organizer. Then the meeting is not dependent to that "personal" organizer.
Emily Kirby is very knowledgeable when it comes to the breakout rooms. Let's see if we might get a reply or suggestion here (as I don't really use the breakout rooms).
- Hi Christian,
Let's hope so, we've been using Breakout Rooms before they were even a "thing". In the early days we had Parent Teams with sub-channels as Breakout Rooms, can you imagine trying to explain how to move rooms to a group of 30 people who's use of computers only extended as far as FB and maybe Ebay! It was like herding cats!
