User unable to manage reoccurring meeting they are the organizer of
Hello Tech Community! Hopefully someone else has dealt with this issue and has some insight into the solution. Anyways, One of our users reported that they cannot manage a reoccurring meeting they organized, since they missed one meeting. They are now seen as an "attendee". I have looked all over for resolution, coming to the conclusion that MS does not have the capability for admins to manage calendar events/meetings like this. Here is the original request the user sent: "I had created a reoccurring meeting in October and declined it one week when I wasn’t going to be available. I had accidentally cancelled the meeting from my calendar and I had to have someone re-invite me to the meeting so I could still access it since I was the host. Now I am unable to make changes to the meeting invite, it doesn’t give me the option to edit or cancel it because it’s counting me as an attendee instead of the organizer." We have checked in OWA and desktop app. Same issue. Thank you in advance to any input anyone can provide.
MS Teams policy doesn't work as it is set
hi, we have the Meeting join & lobby settings like this: the problem is that some users if they create a meeting, their all invited participants land in the lobby. Yes - we have a few policies, and yes all have the same settings regarding Meeting join & lobby. Do you have any idea what's wrong?Scheduled meeting appears in calendar at a different time
Best regard. Yesterday at 8:25am I scheduled a meeting for the afternoon of that day from 2:30pm to 3:00pm and I sent the invitation, when it appeared on my calendar the meeting appeared graphically to run from 9:30am to 10:00am. When I entered the meeting to edit it, the screen that appears shows that it was scheduled from 2:30pm to 3:00pm. Can someone help me or explain to me why these cases occur?

As a communications tool, the Outlook meeting invitation is saddled with some deeply unpleasant social implications, because once someone sends one, they are now the "organizer" and no one has any power to fix the organizer's mistakes, present better ideas, etc. without creating disagreeing/conflicting information of their own on the calendar. Small groups of people in a single organization need to be enabled to co-own their meetings, and unilaterally make corrections or other changes. Outlook has never allowed this without granting much broader access to an entire calendar at once. Technically, this would have to be an option, since the "dictator" model is important for things like an employee all-hands with hundreds of people invited. In Google Calendar, it was a simple checkbox option to let other attendees modify the original invitation and keep each other up-to-date. In my time with it, no one at that company ever felt the need to ask someone else for permission (in a preliminary email or phone communication) to send a calendar invite. In an Outlook/Exchange environment, people do this all the time. Some people who want to meet and even know when they want to do it are intimidated to send the invite and make themselves "organizer". We regularly have faulty information on our calendars because it belongs to someone else who doesn't know how or won't fix it. It's all very ridiculous and it's been this way for 27 years. I've seen similar problems with shared information in Teams corrected already, during its brief life. For Outlook/Exchange, it's been intractable. Is there any hope for a change?
