Summary:
Teams Webinars and Townhalls have updated the co-organizer experience, now allowing them to edit event details, publish, and cancel events. The rollout began mid-January 2025 and is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 168524. No preparation is needed for this update.

Details:
Updated February 12, 2025: 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.

Direct effects for Operations**

Event Management Errors
With co-organizers now having the ability to edit event details, there is a risk of unintentional changes leading to confusion among participants, such as incorrect event timings or details being published without proper review.

   - references: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=168524

Increased Workload for Organizers
The new capabilities for co-organizers may lead to an increased workload for original organizers, as they may need to spend more time reviewing changes made by co-organizers, potentially leading to delays in event preparation.
