Good morning,
I'm an end user facing the issue "Copying meetings is not supported".
As I have no administrator rights on my laptop, I can't apply the solutions documented in these posts.

My work around is thus a manual copy: create a new meeting, copy subject, copy content, copy attendees, but ...
My question was : how do I copy the Teams ID link? When copying a meeting, Outlook also copied the Teams ID link. The copied meeting referred to the same meeting chat, which is very useful when continuing a recurring meeting or in case of a follow-up meeting. We preserve the history.
When creating a new meeting, Outlook automatically assigns a new Teams ID, which results in a new chat, and loss of history. Up till now, I didn't find the way to set up the new meeting with the old Teams ID.
How to create a new meeting with an existing Teams ID?
I just found the answer myself, but I want to share it.
Create the new meeting. Flag it as "Don't host online", so Outlook doesn't create a Teams ID.
Then copy two things from the original meeting
- The hyperlink that refers to Teams ID in the "location" field
- The text message in the body that has all the Teams details
I tested it, and I join a Teams meeting that is linked to the chat of the original meeting. Both when clicking the link in the meeting request body, or when joining online from the Reminders pop-up.
Kind regards,
Lieven
