Update Microsoft 365 meeting titles after syncing

Due to Microsoft default settings, meetings synced from Outlook will show the name of the organizer instead of the actual title.

This topic describes how to update meeting titles for Microsoft 365 via Exchange Online PowerShell.

Prerequisite

The Exchange Online PowerShell V2 module (EXO V2 module) has been installed on your computer.

• If you are not sure if the EXO V2 module was installed, you can check the existing modules on your system.

• To install the EXO V2 module, see the following topics:

  • Install the EXO V2 module on Windows
  • Install the EXO V2 module on macOS and Linux

  Note

  To save time and effort, we recommend you to perform this operation on Windows.

• If the module is already installed, see the following instructions.

Procedure

Step1. Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell

1. Run PowerShell as administrator.

2. In the PowerShell window, run the following command:

   Connect-ExchangeOnline 
   

3. In the pop-up window, enter the credential of the Microsoft 365 account, which is connected to Yeastar Workplace, to log in to Exchange Online PowerShell.

Step2. Run the command

In the PowerShell window, run the following command:

Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox | Set-CalendarProcessing -AddOrganizerToSubject $false -DeleteSubject $false -DeleteComments $false -RemovePrivateProperty $false 

This will allow Yeastar Workplace to correctly retrieve a meeting’s title.

Step3. Disconnect the Exchange Online PowerShell

You have completed the configuration, now you can disconnect the Exchange Online PowerShell.

In the PowerShell window, run the following command:

Disconnect-ExchangeOnline

A confirmation prompt will appear immediately, enter Y and press Enter to disconnect.

Result

Meetings created through Outlook will continue to display their actual titles after syncing.
