Webinar - adding an external presenter before the meeting
squanjox Hello, when testing this out previously something was going on and the experience wasn't consistent. Now I just tried adding some externals (open federation also called 'external access') to the required presenters field. If doing nothing after that they are indeed being Attendees when they join. But if you edit the meeting options and use the presenters dropdown adding those external users in that field beforehand they are entering as Presenters.
It's definitely buggy. I no longer can do it and have to wait until the actual meeting to start to change the permissions for the external presenters.
However I have raised a ticket to Microsoft Premier Support and this is their response:
"PG confirmed they will be rolling out this feature in lower ring first which means the fix will roll out for General Availability in 4-6 weeks, it is a Standard ETA. "
So hopefully we will see this improved in a month or two.
- I actually raised this issue with them after your initial post and my first reply. I didn't get a response that they were working on it but at least the right people was tagged. After reading your reply obviously they did 🙂
