Copy meetings from one calendar to another no longer supported

I'm using Outlook 365 on my Windows 11 PC, and the Outlook android app on my smartphone. On the PC, I have a work calendar, an association calendar, and a private one. The android app only has the private e-mail account and calendar (this is for security reasons). Until very recently, I have been able to copy meetings from the work and association calendars to the private one on my PC, so that they show up in my android Outlook app.

Microsoft has removed this functionality without warning. Outlook blocks copying meetings with “Copying meetings is not supported.” - Microsoft Support.

The workaround (involving editing the regsitry) works, but what is the long term solution?

    Thank you so much! I tried it and it actually works!

    Actually, it only worked when I did a test as an event. But does not work on meetings or appointments.

    So, back to not being happy with Microsoft's inability to fix the problem they intentionally created. UGH!

    Running O365 Outlook on Windows 10, I am able to copy meetings by selecting the meeting, holding the ALT key, and dragging to the other calendar. No need to line up the exact time of meeting, it automatically places it where it needs to go.

    Here is the reg key entry that has to be added for the old outlook

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar

    EnableMeetingCopy=DWORD:1

    Taken from a previous post. This works. To explain it a bit more plainly...

    Create a new entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar

    Make it a DWORD entry. Name it EnableMeetingCopy. Change the value from 0 to 1,

    Edit: This information might not be that useful anymore. I was only reading page 1 of this thread when I made the reply. This works for me, though.
