Sometimes the person who is meant to host an event via Teams is not available at the last minute. However, only the "Teams meeting owner" can start the webinar.

Your engineer suggested having another user sign in as the user who created the live event and create a new event. This would not work, because the link to the Teams meeting would have already been shared with participants.

Please allow a provision that allows other users to start the webinar as well, or for the teams meeting owner to be changed once the event is live.
