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

Hi AshleyVanDM , this is currently available. If you aren't seeing that it's available, please let me know.
Thanks,

Emily Kirby Thanks for your response! I, as an organizer of a meeting that requires registration, have access to the attendance report and can see registration. The co-organizers, however, cannot see the registration. This is problematic. We make all our registration links months in advance and don’t always know which of us will ultimately be responsible for running the meeting. We all need to be able to see the registration. Plus if one of us leaves, gets sick, dies, etc… the others need to be able to pull the registration list. When will the ability for co-organizers to view registration and pull an attendance report be available?
