Teams Webinars and Townhalls have updated the co-organizer experience to allow full control over event details, including editing, publishing, and canceling events. The rollout begins in January 2025, with full details on Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 168524. No preparation is needed for this update.
Updated October 16, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Scheduling, setting up, and managing an event is not a simple task. Which is why we allow co-organizer to be added to the event so they can work alongside or on behalf of the organizer. So far co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting options, view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like title, date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now they can! Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event like the organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full parity of experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event.
