Co-organizers will have most of the capabilities of organizers, including the ability to manage meeting options. While co-organizers will have more capabilities within meetings than general participants, there appear to be limits, for example co-organizers will not be able to manage breakout rooms. Microsoft points out in their blog that this feature may arrive in the future. If you need your co-organizer to have the ability to manage breakout rooms, a good workaround is to grant those users presenter permissions. Organizers will be able to assign up to 10 people to be co-organizers. According to the Microsoft changelog, below lists the things those co-organizers will be able to do and not do. Co-organizers can do the following: Access and change meeting options Bypass the lobby Admit people from the lobby during a meeting Lock the meeting Present content Change another participant’s meeting role End the meeting for all Co-organizers cannot do the following: Create & manage breakout rooms View & download attendance reports Manage the meeting recording Edit the meeting invitation Remove or change the Organizer role These changes will be rolling out early November 2021 Print 2777 More links M365 Admin Article
