MicrosoftMeeting 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

Thanks to QuietStorm78 and Sumble23 , I asked my colleague to share his calendar with delegate permission or edit permission. Then I can open(add) his calendar in my outlook, to "Copy to My Calendar" under the Actions section. I can see the meetings now, but still without organizer permission.
==========
So I double click the meeting item in the calendar, and open the File > Save as to save it as a ICS file, open it to remove my names in the attendee list, and import it into outlook with File > Import/Export after that.
It may have two meeting series now. I delete the first one which I don't have organizer permission, and keep the imported one.
It works as before now.
- Just chiming in to add our organization and three others that I know of are having the same issue. We were also hoping it would clear up with the EX800425 fix but our users are still reporting the problem. In fact, more of them are reporting it this week.
I have them working in OWA right now for calendar management but it is not sustainable.
I can confirm we have this problem with at least two builds. And I can confirm this really kicked off for us about three weeks ago.Since Microsoft has been virtually silent on this issue, I thought I'd share some updates I've found. This Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/o365/comments/1e1lxej/calendar_invites_disappearing_after_being/outlines that apparently there's an incident EX829728 that this is being worked under. I can't find this incident number in the Admin center, but whoever is working my ticket at Microsoft confirmed the incident number. They also gave these details.
We have noticed of many tenants being affected by this issue. And we escalated the issue to the engineering team to work on it.
The Update will reach your tenant very soon as we started working on it recently.
Please find the service incident details of your issue here:
Title: Some meeting organizers' invites are intermittently disappearing from their calendar in the Outlook desktop client
User impact: Meeting organizers' invites are intermittently disappearing from their calendar in the Outlook desktop client.
More info: Meeting recipients can see the event on their calendar within the Outlook desktop client, and affected organizers may bypass the impact by using other clients, such as Outlook on the web.
Current status: We've developed and initiated the deployment of the aforementioned fix, which we anticipate will populate throughout the affected environment by our next scheduled update.
Scope of impact: Your organization is impacted by this event, and impact is limited to a subset of meeting organizers accessing their calendars using the Outlook desktop client.
Start time: Friday, May 31, 2024, at 3:33 PM UTC
Estimated time to resolve: We anticipate impact to be remediated as of Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 1:30 AM UTC.
Root cause: A latent code issue within the affected service infrastructure is resulting in impact.
Next update by: Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 1:30 AM UTCSharing because I feel MS has left many in the dark on this issue, so hopefully these "bread crumbs" help.
