    Dear @Shrikanth Bhosale, 

    Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    Based on your description, I understand that you're trying to make an existing Microsoft Teams meeting into recurring when that was originally organized by someone else.

    At the moment, only the original organizer of a Teams meeting has the ability to change its scheduling details, including making it recurring. This means that if you need the meeting to repeat automatically, the best next step is to ask the organizer to update the meeting series on their end.

    When a meeting is created in Microsoft Teams, the organizer is permanently associated with that meeting. This design ensures consistency in permissions, ownership of meeting assets (such as recordings and attendance reports), and integration with calendar systems.

    Please kindly refer to this detailed official information article and topic about Change the organizer, it will provide you with official suitable information about this situation.

    May I ask if the organizer is still available in your organization?

    If the original organizer is available, the best next step is to ask them to update the meeting invitation to include a recurrence.

    If this limitation is impacting your workflow, I’d also strongly encourage sharing your thoughts directly with Microsoft through the Feedback portal. Product feedback from real scenarios like yours helps influence future improvements.

    Thank you for your time and patience.

    To set up an existing Teams meeting as recurring, which is organized by others, you typically need to have the necessary permissions to edit the meeting. However, if you are not the organizer of the meeting, you won't be able to change its recurrence settings directly. Here are the general steps you can follow if you have the appropriate permissions:

    1. Open the Meeting: Go to your Teams calendar and find the meeting you want to make recurring.
    2. Edit the Meeting: Click on the meeting to open its details. If you are the organizer or have edit permissions, you should see an option to edit the meeting.
    3. Set Recurrence: Look for the recurrence option (usually labeled as "Repeat" or "Recurrence") and set the desired frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).
    4. Save Changes: After setting the recurrence, save the changes to update the meeting.

    If you do not have permission to edit the meeting, you may need to contact the organizer to request that they set it up as a recurring meeting.
