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.

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
- 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!

Great, thanks for your advise. The copy has been re-enabled but guys, we can't paste it to any other date. It just duplicates the record in the same date where the original meeting is.Any idea why? It was possible to paste it to other dates upon your needs before. Thx
Hi DavidP14,
thanks for the update and the additional info.
Regarding your question: the practice of copying meetings can cause unexpected issues. If you re-enable the functionality and experience issues, please delete the copied meeting, and start with a new meeting. The Outlook Support Team will not troubleshoot issues related to copied meetings.

Why bother saying this? I've never gotten any support or troubleshooting help from Microsoft on any of their products. Nobody I know has. Right? Right.
