MS Teams Meeting Delegation
For a meeting scheduled using Teams, it would be great to be able to delegate the organizer role so that someone else can reschedule the meeting during my absence. For instance for Executive Assistants or PTO.

We would benefit from this so we can modify 'Meeting Options' within the Teams meeting in the absence of the meeting organizer. Why we need to do this is because of the audible beep for attendees coming in through the lobby, by setting 'Always let callers bypass the lobby' to OFF allows us to approve attendees, however at the start of the meeting we would like to switch 'Always let callers bypass the lobby' to ON so disruption is minimized once the meeting starts, unless you can allow us to stop the beeping and keep it on screen notifications then the current setup is not helpful. Attendees dont arrive on time and the beeping is disruptive and is audible in the recording. In our organisation the meeting organizer may not always be present at the meeting , this is really a multifaceted request to be able to delegate meeting organizer role, we'd also benefit from a break out rooms perspective. Accelerate your changes as all I am hearing daily is Zoom does everything!!!

Hi. Our organisation requires 2 organisers, who can join the breakout rooms. Can this please be added soonest? Otherwise, for certain sessions, we are forced to use Zoom. Thanks.

It's important to have the delegation option to download the attendance list when the organizer isn't present (an often situation at my company).

Please add meeting delegation for meetings scheduled using Teams as this will address many issues we are facing with being able to download attendee lists for instance.

A very important feature and no news from Microsoft. Very difficult to explain to our users that it's not possible to change the Organizer of one meeting...

Make it possible to assign from a shared mailbox someone else as a organizer to control the break out rooms. Now it is not possible do this because the shared mailbox is the organizer, but we can not sign in with a shared mailbox in Teams! Please help!

You can't use MS Teams properly as webinar tool. With an specialized organization department you need to delegate the organizer role from course-organizer to the trainer! -

Completely agree with comments about virtual meeting facilitation--it's quite risky to leave the delegation and management of breakouts to one account.

As far as I understand the breakout room functionality, it is only visible to the meeting organizer. For virtual facilitation it can be quite crucial to be able to delegate this option. Why it would be grest to be able to have multiple organizers of the same meeting.

Yes please - Teams meetings are business critical for us, and we need to be able to hand-over control due to sick leave or other issues.

The inability to have multiple owners oversee channel meetings, content, etc. is breaking a number of things in an educational settings. For example, we just had an education specialist leave and someone else take over her Team. All meetings created by her and locked, cannot be deleted, and there doesn't appear to be a way to reassign them. In addition, breakout rooms are completely tethered to the one person who created the meeting. If you are in a situation where you are tag teaching as a team and that person is away, you are out of luck.
This is pretty dysfunctional and needs to be addressed asap if we are to take Teams seriously as a viable alternative to Zoom or Google Hangouts/Classroom in the educational space

this is a much-needed capability in teams! I want to co-host so one of us can focus on content and the process of the meeting and the other can manage the logistics of breakouts.
