By default, the organizer is the person that created the event. But often times events are created on behalf of someone else. <br>There are two ways to display someone else as event organizer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The <em>ORG<\/em> <em>Keyword<\/em>: <\/strong>If you insert for example <code>'ORG: John Doe'<\/code> (without the quotes) in the event&#8217;s description field (that&#8217;s the large text field), John Doe will be displayed instead of your own name. Keep in mind that this is only for door signs and for certain web applications. Your Outlook calendar will still show whoever created the event as the organizer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use a shared mailbox<\/strong>: If you already have a shared mailbox in your team, you can create the event as the shared mailbox and invite the room. Since the event was created as the shared mailbox, it will show up as organizer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zoom Room Sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rooms <em>HG G 19.1<\/em> and <em>HG G 19.2<\/em> are Zoom Room ready. This means that the multimedia installation (projector, microphones, cameras) in those rooms, can attend and therefore be used in a Zoom meeting. There&#8217;s no need for a laptop for this. To create a Zoom Session for your event, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to https:\/\/ethz.zoom.us and create a Zoom meeting as usual.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect the meeting with a password\/pin to prevent unforeseen attendants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy the meeting link out from Zoom. (e.g. https:\/\/ethz.zoom.us\/j\/01234)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add it to the location field as an additional location. This will allow the Room to actually attend the meeting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact the ISG (<em>isg@math.ethz.ch<\/em>) if you like to know more about this feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to disable Microsoft Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some reason, Microsoft is keen on creating a Microsoft Teams meeting whenever someone creates a new event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams-1024x489.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams-1024x489.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams-768x367.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams-600x286.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethz.ch\/isgdmath\/files\/2024\/06\/teams.png 1123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To disable this behavior, go to your Outlook Online Settings at <br><a href=\"https:\/\/outlook.office.com\">https:\/\/outlook.office.com<\/a>.
