Hide Attendees List in Teams Webinar
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.
- Not really because as a b2b webinar provider I need to know who is attending for my follow up. I dont believe Live Events allow that, its all anonymous. Correct me if Im wrong.
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.
Just to add my support for this too.
Teams would be our go-to choice for webinars with this feature but it's broadly useless without it. This should not be limited to a specific tier or payment plan because it's such an essential webinar feature.
