Teams Meetings: Add co-organizers

Introduction

Microsoft Teams now allows you to add up to 10 co-organizers to help manage your meeting. Co-organizers are displayed as additional organizers in the meeting participant list and have most of the capabilities of the meeting organizer. For more information on Teams meeting roles, please review this article on participant roles in a Teams meeting.
