Cannot add Teams meeting to a single occurrence of a series

Anonymous

Hello,

We have a new issue - when a Delegate tries to convert a single occurrence in a series to a Teams meeting she gets a message telling her she must convert the entire series to a Teams meeting.  (""This is one appointment in a series. To make it an online meeting, open the meeting series and try again.")

She does not want to change the entire series to a Teams meeting.

She states that she was able to do this until about a week ago.  When opening a recurring meeting, she would get prompted and choose the single occurrence then proceed to add the Teams meeting to this single event only.  

We are also in the process of moving users from Islands to Teams-only mode and I'm not sure if she was recently moved to TeamsOnly.

Same behavior as described in this locked & unanswered thread - except ours is a Win10 environment:

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you,

Brett

Just received an update from Microsoft:

Due to the popular demand Teams engineering team decided to re-enable this feature. According to Teams engineering team that they have reverted this feature on Sep 14th.  

Restart Outlook/Teams apps and check if there's any difference

    Hi! 

    One of my users is also reporting the same problem. 

    Following this thread. 

    Any suggestions are appreciated. 

    As I can read in this thread, this is an update related problem. 

    Hoping this gets fixed soon.

    Hello Melvin, 

    Do we have any updates on this? I understand that this new behavior is by design but we see the inconsistent outcomes from users from the same tenant: some are able to convert one occurrence to a Teams meeting and some are not able to. We would like to know what caused the issue. Thanks!

    Hi

    Wrote back to MS support and no word from them. The culprit seems to be MS Teams. Once I updated to the latest version of Teams (1.3.00.21759 (64-bit)), I got the same error too. As Teams randomly auto updates itself on client's machines, that might be the reasons why not everyone is getting the error.
