Microsoft Teams Co-organizer Meeting Role: Updated
Microsoft Teams Co-organizer Meeting Role: Updated
Microsoft Teams will soon allow co-organizers to help manage meetings. 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
