Change a Teams meeting organiser?

Below is an example case;

  • We have a MS TEAM (Training) where User1 and User2 are set as "Owners".
  • User1 schedules a meeting in the Team Channel and invites Guest1, Guest2 and Guest3 as an "Attendees".
  • User1 goes in to "Meeting Options" and sets Guest1 as a "Presenter"
  • User1 goes on leave before the event.
  • User2 wants to access "Meeting Options" to make changes to the presenters list to add Guest2 as a "Presenter" as well but fails as User2 is not the "Organiser".

How can I make this work?

Thanks

    @Sam Gunawarna ,

    Currently, this feature is not supported.

    As a workaround, User1 could add User2 as presenter in the meeting. Then User2 could change the roles of other participants. You could refer to this article to learn more about roles in a Teams meeting.

    Meanwhile, many people give a feedback about this feature. You could vote here.

    Microsoft will always focus on customer’s feedback and experience. Some new features would be added to the services based on customers' feedback in the future, and your good ideas will be very helpful for them to improve the service.

    Your time, understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.

    It doesn't work to change the meeting organizer, but better than none...
