Enable Meeting Copy
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

Many Thanks Leon!!!
Saved me MUCH aggravation 😁
Woaw merci infiniment LeonPavesic 🙏
Tu es bien le premier à réussir à me résoudre ce problème ! En effet, la solution de base donnée par MICROSOFT est très générique et ne s'appliquait pas à mon ordinateur professionnel. Grâce à ta méthode, j'ai résolu mon problème et ai gagné un temps précieux !
Merci encore ! J'aimerai te mettre 10 likes ! 👏👏👏👏Have tried this but I still cannot drag meetings from one calendar to another. I get a red circle with a diagonal bar when I try. Works fine with the old outlook on my old laptop.
Unfortunately did not work for me for some reason LeonPavesic
Hi, I want to copy my meetings on mac, I verified that the EnableMeetingCopy key is set to 1 in the com.microsoft.Outlook.plist file to ensure the meeting copy feature is activated. Then, I forced the system to reload preferences using killall cfprefsd and restarted Outlook + my MacBook to apply the changes.
It still don't work, could you help please ?
I liked this feature, never had any problem, don't understand why it's blocked on the thick client when it's still available on the thin client, and made difficult to re-activate locally ...
Best regards,
Artem
- So well and direct explained...worked for me after relaunch of Outlook! THANKS!
- Perfect! Thank you - worked a treat.
LeonPavesic this solution worked perfectly for a while. However, it stopped working after Outlook got upgraded to a new version (with the 'Outlook New' icon). I haven't tried going back to the old version, I hope there's a similar hack to re-enable meeting copying in the new version of Outlook.
LeonPavesic Thanks. Worked perfectly.
- Worked for me. Very much appreciated. Not sure why Microsoft would disable this useful function.
- Fantastic. It worked. No way I would have found this out by myself. Still irritated that this function was disabled rather than fixed. Thanks Leon!
