Has anyone successfully used "Hide attendee names" in Teams Meetings or Webinars with Teams Premium?

Hello,

I'm trying to understand the current status of the**"Hide attendee names"** feature in Microsoft Teams.

Our organization has Teams Premium, and according to Microsoft's documentation, the feature should be available for both Meetings and Webinars. The documentation even provides separate instructions for each scenario.

However, during a recent Microsoft Support call, I was told that the feature is actually available only for Town Hall events and not for standard Teams Meetings or Webinars.

This appears to contradict the current Microsoft documentation, so I'm looking for real-world feedback from other administrators.

Questions:

• Has anyone successfully enabled Hide attendee names in a standard Teams Meeting?
• Has anyone used it in a Webinar?
• We have Teams Premium. If it works for you, what licenses are assigned to the organizer?
• Do you actually see the Hide attendee names option in Meeting Options?
• Is there any specific policy, rollout, or configuration required?
• Has Microsoft Support ever told you that the feature is Town Hall only?

Microsoft documentation:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/teams/meetings/hide-attendee-names-in-microsoft-teams-meetings-and-webinars

At this point I'm trying to determine whether:

1. The documentation is incorrect or outdated.
2. The feature is being rolled out gradually.
3. There is an undisclosed licensing or policy requirement.
4. Microsoft Support provided incorrect information.
5. The feature has been silently restricted to Town Hall events.

Any feedback from tenants where this is actually working would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Giuseppe
