Create Meeting on Behalf of colleague
Is there a possibility to be designated as a delegate and create meetings on behalf of a colleague?

Hi pjhhvh, welcome to the community.
The intent behind the co-organizer feature is to allow someone else in your organization to start and run the meeting if the original meeting organizer is unable to for some reason. What you are looking for is a scheduling assistant.
If you have an assistant running your calendar and scheduling meetings for you, but you would prefer not to give them access to your GoToMeeting account you could create some meeting rooms that your assistant could use. These personalized meeting rooms can have specific names and are great for recurring meetings and can be password protected. One-off meetings could be held using your main personalized meeting room.

My understanding with meeting rooms is that they can be accessed any time by anyone who has received an invite to the room. If my understanding is incorrect please let me know. I would only want the room to be accessed by the current invitee vs. anyone who has access. Does that make sense. All of our meetings are one off so it sounds like you solution isn't one for our use case.
It would appear the current behavior meets my needs (+/-). If I have someone create meetings for another and make them a co-organizer then that person becomes the organizer they start the meeting. Ideally they would have organizer privilege's before starting the meeting, but I think we can live with that for now.
