[Introduction]
We're retiring the isBroadcast property used to create Teams Live Events through Microsoft Graph. This change aligns with our investment in the Virtual Event APIs, which offer richer capabilities for Webinars and Town Halls, including improved registration, attendee management, presenter configuration, and reporting. These APIs provide more modern, flexible, and scalable options for organizations managing large virtual events.
[When this will happen]
March 31, 2026: isBroadcast will be removed from the Microsoft Graph beta endpoint
June 30, 2026: isBroadcast will be removed from the Microsoft Graph v1.0 endpoint
