This Might be One of the Most Popular M365 Features This Year
It’s about time:
Microsoft 365: Change Meeting Organizer via PowerShell Cmdlet in Exchange Online
Allows the administrator of an Exchange Online tenant to change the organizer of an existing meeting or meeting series via a PowerShell cmdlet. This can be used, for example, to maintain continuity and history of a long-running meeting series in cases where the meeting organizer has a new role, is on leave, or during the offboarding process. Once the meeting is transferred, the new organizer will be able to maintain all properties of the event including meeting time and recurrence, attendees, and description. Meeting attendees within the Exchange Online tenant will not need to re-RSVP and the existing event on their calendar will be silently updated with the new meeting organizer information.A subsequent feature will enable users to to change the organizer via Modern Calendar in OWA, New Outlook, and Teams. For user-initiated transfers the new organizer must accept the meeting before the transfer completes.

One of the biggest irritations for M365 users is recurring meetings set to run for years, with the organizer having left the organization. How do you get them off people’s calendars, or have them managed by another user?
Yeah, it’s a pain.
We’ll see how easy it is to change the organizer using PowerShell commands. Team members will still need to involve IT, but at least they won’t have to create a whole new meeting series.
