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...
Hi SandieKnight
You can use Dynamics 365 marketing for managing the invite and signup process, for both team live events, team webinar and teams meetings.

ArthurNew true! But for those companies that don’t have Marketing the power automate solution is a nice option.
- Also, ArthurNew and SandieKnight while both your options might work for live events, they still do not address the inability to hide participants in teams webinars, which as you rightly mentioned has been an ask for coming up to a year and seems like a very basic feature.
Being advised that it is being released as a Premium feature without any indication of being included in the standard teams package also makes the mind boggle.- I agree 100%. I would much rather use Webinar with hidden attendees as most of my webinars are interviews and panel discussions - the restriction to Live Event of only being able to have 1 person on screen at a time is extremely “clunky” - having to go back and forth between speakers - extremely difficult when it’s conversational.
So although Live Event hides the attendees the attendee experience is not ideal to say the least.
Webinars with hidden attendees is the answer but when is it actually coming and making this a premium offering is beyond ridiculous.
This is the reason why many partners are forced to use competing non-Microsoft products to Teams for webinars. That alone one would think would be motivation for MS to get the fix released AND included in standard Teams.
I read something in UserVoice that said it’s coming in July 2023. But I’ve heard it’s coming for over a year now. Yet here we are.
So for me, not being able to hide attendees using Webinar and not being able to have multiple speakers on screen at the same time with Live Event makes both products inadequate for my needs (oh and the suggestion of having one speaker share their screen showing multiple speakers on one screen is NOT the answer. It takes control away from the Producer.
Sorry. I’ve pulled in many other issues than the one at hand regarding hidden attendees. But I find these - what should be simple asks - not being available and/or considered Premium beyond comprehension.
