Has anyone successfully used "Hide attendee names" in Teams Meetings or Webinars with Teams Premium?
Microsoft’s current guidance explicitly supports Hide attendee names for Teams meetings and webinars; it is not limited to town halls. The meeting organizer needs both a Teams license and Teams Premium, and the option must be configured before the event. Create a test meeting from the Teams calendar, open Meeting options, set Who can present to anything except Everyone, then under Participation enable Hide attendee names. For a webinar, use its Meeting options and save after enabling it. Organizers, co-organizers, and presenters will still see names, and breakout rooms do not support the hiding behavior. If the toggle is absent, have the Teams administrator verify that Premium is assigned to the organizer, not merely an attendee, and that the meeting policy applied to that organizer permits attendee identity masking. If it remains missing, provide the organizer UPN, policy assignment, client version, and meeting ID to Microsoft suppor
