Hi!

I have a question about teams meeting. Is it possible to change the owner of the meeting or the person that are able to create a breakout room? At the moment it seams that its only the person that created the meeting that has the possibility create breakout rooms....

Thankful for a quick answer! :)

Best regards
Fredrik

    Hi @Fredrik Björnsson Spets

    No, you cannot change the organizer in Teams meeting. Organizer is a special role presenter that cannot be changed during the meeting nor anyone else can take it away. They are always in charge and can change who is a presenter or attendee. Only Teams organizer have access to create break rooms in Teams meeting.

    For more details about it, you can learn it from:
