Hello there,
A colleague created an Outlook + Teams meeting a few months ago and has been using the same link for next similar meetings, too. However, she needs to change the name of the Teams meeting now.
One workaround as I understand is to edit the name of the Outlook meeting and send update.
However, this is not very practical, because 100+ people are there and they would be getting a notification for a meeting that happened in the past.
Is there a way (either from the administration interface or command-line, powershell, API, programmatically, you name it) to rename the meeting?
I guess Teams + Outlook integrator is sending something back to the server to rename the meeting.
Isn't there a way to run this myself?
Many thanks

    Hi @SIAPERAS, Athanassios ,

    According to your description, your requirements is more related to development, which we do not support. The following suggestion is just for your reference.

    Thanks for the leads. I had seen the Uservoice forum thread, but this doesn't help, it actually describes the workaround that I mentioned.

    The Graph API could work, although the stable version doesn't have any update, only GET, as you quoted, and you can't do much with what is returned, other than see it.
    However, the Beta version seems to have an Update. I will try to see if it works
