M365 Changelog: (Updated) Co-organizer experience updates in Teams Webinars and Townhalls – Feb 12, 2025

MC688109 – Updated February 12, 2025: Microsoft has 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 Microsoft allows 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.

When this will happen:

Targeted release: Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 (previously early January) and expects to complete by mid-January 2024 (previously mid-December).

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 (previously mid-December) and expects to complete by late February 2025 (previously mid-January).

How this will affect your organization:

When co-organizer opens the event scheduling page, they should have the ability to edit the details page, publish, and cancel the event. 

What you need to do to prepare:

Nothing required to prepare.
