Details:
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.

Direct effects for Operations**
Loss of Control Over Event Management
If co-organizers can edit, publish, or cancel events without proper training or understanding, it may lead to unauthorized changes, confusion among participants, and potential scheduling conflicts.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine planning a big party with a friend. Previously, your friend could help with some tasks like sending out invitations, setting up decorations, and keeping track of RSVPs, but they couldn't change the date of the party, update the theme, or cancel it if needed. You were the only one who could make those big decisions.
Now, with the latest update in Microsoft Teams for Webinars and Townhalls, your friend can do everything you can. They can change the date, update the theme, or even cancel the party if something comes up. This makes it much easier for both of you to manage the event together, without needing to constantly check in with each other for every little change.
In the world of Teams, this means that co-organizers now have the same abilities as the main organizer. They can edit event details, publish, and cancel events just like the original organizer. This change is rolling out in January 2025, and it aims to make event management more collaborative and efficient. No special preparation is needed for this update, so teams can start enjoying the benefits as soon as it becomes available.
