Meeting series disappeared in organizers calender

Sean_Tong,

I had the same issue and I found a way to fix this problem. First I had someone forward the meeting to me, and then while I did not have the option to accept or decline as I was the organiser, I clicked the button to forward the invite and it just appeared in my calendar. (I didn't have to actually forward it to anyone). If someone is able to send you the meeting series, it's better as the past meetings and future meetings will appear too. I'm not sure how this work, but it did for me, so I hope you have some luck as well.

EDIT: I notice this solution makes you appear as an attendee and not the organiser rights to amend or cancel the meeting. It can be fixed by downloading the meeting as an iCalendar (ICS) file, opening it in Notepad (Right click and Open With, selecting Notepad, but don't check the box to always open it in Notepad), and removing your name from the Attendee list. It should still be in the Organiser field, as expected. Save and close the ICS file.

Then, instead of dragging it into Outlook which won't work (it'll open it as a meeting instead, which won't add it to the calendar), you instead have to go to File -> Open/Export -> Import and select the modified ICS file. It'll prompt you to open as a new calendar or use the existing one; choose existing, and it'll pop up in the calendar with you having the organiser rights.

I think it's to do with the fact that clicking Forward adds you to the attendee list despite also being the organiser so the organiser rights are lost when the event is put back in the calendar when you just press Forward.

Kind Regards
Sumble.
