Enable Meeting Copy

Thanks Leon.

The instructions were super clear and I found every step without a hitch (which is saying something for me!), but no joy.  Appreciated!  I need to be able to copy and paste meetings in my bosses' calendars where (the recurrence features are not always useful when the cadence is irregular).  Do your directions usually apply to proxies?  I saw "calendar" at the Registry Editor step, but no listings for the officers' who calendars I manage (so I assume "calendar" was only mine?).  Is there a fix for this?  Also: does the refreshed ability to copy only apply to meetings created by the user, or also apply to existing and incoming meetings, and meetings with attendees...?

(I know that's a lot, but I have found that often even good fixes or workaround won't apply to proxies and I need to find a way to get this function back.  Thx for any leads!)

Hi Leann66328,

to (re)-enable the copying of meetings in Outlook, you can modify the Windows Registry.

Here are the steps you can use:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. If prompted by User Account Control, click Yes to allow it to make changes to your device.
3. Navigate to the following path in the Registry Editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar

4. Right-click on the Calendar key, select New, and then DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name the new DWORD value EnableMeetingCopy.
6. Double-click on EnableMeetingCopy. In the Value data field, enter 1 and click OK.
7. Close the Registry Editor.

Outlook blocks copying meetings with “Copying meetings is not supported.” - Microsoft Support
