This article covers options to modify, cancel, or reschedule Outlook meetings organized/created by someone other than the original owner.
Solution
Inform Attendees, Delete the Original Meeting, and Create a New Meeting
Meetings can ONLY be modified or updated by the original owner.
If that person cannot update a meeting, then everyone invited to the meeting MUST delete their invitation. Doing this will cancel the meeting. Someone from the group must create a new meeting invitation and send it to the group to reschedule the meeting.
There is NOT a process to change the owner of meetings. The only option is to delete and create a new meeting manually.
-
Inform everyone on the list of attendees to delete the meeting that needs to be updated.
-
Once all attendees have deleted the meeting, the meeting will be cancelled and removed from the calendar.
-
The new meeting owner can create a new meeting with the correct settings.
