In public preview: Meeting co-organizer
- Mar 10, 2022
Currently, the co-organizer feature doesn't support breakout rooms. Here is a temporary workaround for adding your Co-Organzier as a Breakout Room Manager, until it's fully supported:
BEFORE A MEETING
-
Organizer creates meeting
-
Organizer opens the meeting on their Teams calendar & adds Breakout Rooms (BR) to it
-
BRs shows up as a new tab along with other apps added to the meeting
-
Organizer then uses BR app's settings to assign a person invited to the meeting as a BR manager
-
Organizer opens meeting options and assigns meeting co-organizer role to that same person
DURING MEETING
-
Imagine that organizer is out of office that day (like in a substitute teacher scenario)
-
The co-organizer joins the meeting & they have all the capabilities of co-organizer role
-
The co-organizer starts the BR in the meeting
-
When co-organizer joins the BR, they no longer have the co-organizer role but since that person was assigned as a BR manager, they can manage the BR with all capabilities of a BR manager (their role essentially changed from "co-organizer" to "BR manager")
-
Once BR session is over, BR manager & other attendees will leave the BR and rejoin the main meeting
-
When they rejoin the main meeting, everyone is automatically assigned their original meeting roles for the main meeting
-
So, the original co-organizer who filled the BR manager role during the breakout room session automatically becomes a co-organizer in the main meeting once again

I am not able to see the "Choose co-organisers" option in Meeting options in the test account I enabled for Teams public preview on Teams desktop v1.5.00.3866. I have try quitting the Teams client and turn off and turn on Teams Public Preview but still don't have the co-organiser option.
Ching-Yoong_Chang Same problem here. I've enabled the Preview option from the Teams Admin Center but when I look at the meeting options page for my meeting, I still don't see the "Choose co-organizers" drop-down menu. I wonder if it only applies to new meetings going forward and not older recurring meetings on a series.
Did you ever figure out how to enable the choose co-organizers option? Thanks!

JGrodin this is now working for my test account when I check again in early May. When I open up the old meeting invite Meeting options back in March, I can also see the option to choose co-organiser.
- JGrodinMay 12, 2022Copper ContributorInteresting, 24 hours later and I still don't have the option. Not sure what is wrong at this point.
