Why can't I add a required attendee as a co-organizer of a Teams meeting?

Question

I have sent out a meeting invite to my organization, and then later added several people as required attendees. I am not able to add any of them as co-organizers. The only co-organizer option is the Room the hybrid Teams meeting is being held in! None of the actual participants are listed as an option. They were originally optional, and through my research, I saw they needed to be required so I added them that way, but they're still not available as options for co-organizers.

Hi @Kate Tucker

To make sure you could choose the co-organizer, you should meet these requirements:

1)Co-organizers must be in the same organization as the meeting organizer, or be using a guest account in the same organization.

2)External users can't be made co-organizers.

Answer 2

I'm having the same issue. Was there a resolution?

The person I am trying to add is now "required" and is not external and are part of our organization.
