Hide Attendees List in Teams Webinar
Hello community, We are having a webinar this week and realize that within the webinar screen, everyone is able to see the list of people who are attending the event. Is this a feature avai...
So, is there any update on this feature? It's still not available in Teams to this day. When exactly can we expect this feature? I am sure no company will use the webinar feature with any potential clients while it is not able to hide attendees.
UPDATE!! IUH3rdeyes We found out that purchasing a Teams premium membership remedies this issue. However, you need to qualify for this license. So, it's not inclusive to smaller businesses. The creative remedy is using Teams Live Events and MS Forms for registration and attendance.
saracourte How were you able to hide webinar participants from each other with Teams Premium? I was just given access to it this morning and have not been able to find that ability. Thanks.
- Now that we have it, I wasn't. It was totally false advertising. The organizer controls the participants' view, but the attendees still have free will to click "people" and see who's in the meeting with them. I think the live events make more sense.
saracourte How did getting the Teams premium membership remedy the issue? Also, just to add another voice to the "Why isn't this feature already there? And if it is indeed on the roadmap, when will it be implemented?" I don't think my company will be interested in the creative remedy,...
- Okay, so upon trial and error with the premium version, you can hide participants in the sense that the presenter controls what everyone sees. However, the participants still have the option to go into the "people" tab and see the list of all attendees. So it was false advertising on Microsoft's part.
