Co-Organisers
Great work with the Co-Organisers within Teams Meeting Options. Are there plans to also include the control of the Breakout rooms to Co-Organisers without the Organiser having to set them up first a...
I appreciate the offer Matthias but just too busy atm. There are only the 2 support staff for what will soon be 9 Presenters.
All we want is a button, or to have Breakout Room control given to who I set up as Presenters when setting up the Teams meetings in Outlook in whoever's diary. The best back-up that we have at the minute is me accessing the account of the effected meeting as the owner and handing over controls to another presenter that way. It's not something that happens often and changing the way that we set-up the invitations would be an administrative nightmare 🤯 Would be happy to chat in email though if I'm missing a trick 🙂

Russ1976 Well normally we set it up like this:
One functional account as meeting organizer, this account has all organizer features and could be shared between multiple people if needed. This account defines the presenters and breakout room manager before the meeting. During the meeting, all presenters can raise other presenters, and the breakout room managers can manage their breakout rooms. If additional breakout room managers are needed, a supporter can log in into the functional account and assign additional managers.
- I like this, it still requires the organiser to go into each room and assign one of the presenters to have breakout control as the organiser/support staff aren't in all meetings at all times. This adds to additional admin pressure/time that could be utilised more productively.
As for the other user comment ( AnqB0VVRetc), hmmmm, maybe that's right, or maybe they just don't know it's something we would like. I think MS have been quite responsive to Live Meetings/Events requests from the community!- Breakout room Presenter can be assigned beforehand from the organizer as well via the roomsettings of the breakout rooms
- The Organiser and Support Staff are one and the same person, we aren't a huge Org. The process that you have to go through means that person is opening 30 odd rooms one after the other after the other at least once a week (1200 rooms a year). My guy's time can be put to much better use than that for the sake of adding it to Co_Presenter rights.
As I said, our current fix is still the quickest/process friendly.
