Summary:
Microsoft Teams will soon allow webinar organizers to add individuals with presenter privileges without displaying them on the event page, supporting roles like translators and moderators. This feature will be available on Teams for Windows and the web, rolling out from early August to early September 2024.
Details:
Before this rollout, all presenters added to a Microsoft Teams webinar were displayed on the event page. Coming soon to Teams: webinar organizers will be able to add individuals to the webinar and give them presenter privileges-to join the green room, manage what attendees see, turn their camera on or off, and moderate the event-without including the individuals on the event page as presenters. This feature will allow webinar organizers to support roles like live translators, event moderators, and staff who are not presenting. This message applies to Teams on Windows and the web.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early August 2024 and expect to complete by early September 2024.
