summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams is updating its reporting capabilities to provide administrators with comprehensive usage reports for town hall events, automatically including detailed data on attendance, engagement, and event duration.
Direct effects for Operations**
Increased Data Availability
Admins will have access to more comprehensive usage data for town hall events, which may lead to better decision-making and resource allocation. However, without preparation, this influx of data could overwhelm admins who are not accustomed to analyzing large datasets, potentially leading to misinterpretation of the data.

User Experience with Town Hall Events
The change will not impact the existing experience for setting up town hall events, but if admins are unprepared for the new data, they may struggle to provide timely insights or support to users, leading to dissatisfaction among employees participating in town hall events.
