Need a colleague to be able to run a Team's meeting?

Have you ever set up a Teams meeting for a colleague and needed them to manage it too?

When training webinars run without co‑organisers, attendance reports often have to be requested from the organiser after the session. This creates extra admin that’s easy to avoid.

Adding co‑organisers to a Teams meeting allows them to help run the session and access key post‑meeting details like the attendance report. 

How to add a Co‑Organiser to a Teams meeting:

1. Create the meeting
Open Outlook or Teams and create the training meeting as usual
Add the meeting title, date, time, and invitees

2. Open Meeting options
In the meeting invite, select Options (top right of the meeting form)

3. Go to Roles
In Meeting options, select Roles from the left‑hand menu

4. Choose a Co‑Organiser
Search for and select the person you want to add as a Co‑Organiser

5. Apply the change
Select Apply to save the meeting options

A simple change that can save time and make post‑meeting follow‑up much easier. 

Have you tried this, or would it be useful for future meetings?
