Microsoft Teams simplifies meetings with new Organizer Controls

Microsoft Teams is introducing a new Organizer Controls option in the meeting toolbar, replacing the previous Meeting options. This change consolidates meeting management settings into a single flyout, making them easier to discover for organizers and co-organizers. It also provides quicker access to Teams Premium features for licensed users.

The update applies to Teams meetings on both desktop and web clients.
