Microsoft recently made an intentional change to prevent copying meetings in order to limit unexpected issues. However, is there a possibility that they will eventually change this back and make copying meetings a feature that works without any unexpected results?

    Hi @Kenneth Christian Niemann ,

    Microsoft has indeed made an intentional change to prevent copying meetings in Outlook. This was done to avoid unexpected issues that could arise from copying meetings. As of now, there is no official information from Microsoft about reversing this change.

    Besides, they have provided a workaround for users who still want to copy meetings. This involves modifying the Windows Registry. Please note that this workaround is not recommended by Microsoft due to the potential for unexpected issues. It’s always best to stay updated with official Microsoft announcements for any changes to this feature.
