Introducing Town Halls in Microsoft Teams and Retiring Microsoft Teams Live Events

Hi - I have tested the functionality with communications professionals at my work and whilst we welcome some new features, there are lots of things in the new 'Town Hall' function which mean we cannot use it. Please could you help us overcome these.

1) we need to be able to bulk upload invite lists of several thousand people to a meeting

2) we prefer setting up Q&A moderation first, rather than during the call when we could forget it

3) we cannot start the meeting early for presenters for a pre meet which means our people will always be waiting for us to start

4) we cannot add pre set language translations

5) we don't wants questions to have comments added to them or likes as it makes the questions panel too messy

6) we can't understand why presenters would need to 'raise hands' 

7) our audience testers said it was hard to post questions, and the questions panel was far too busy with comments and likes
