Webinar feature not showing
Not sure if this is the right place. I cannot see the feature to start a Webinar and not sure if this is because I dont have the right subscription, or if it has not been rolled out yet or if I need to do something in Teams Admin Centre.
I recently upgraded my subscription to do Live Events so hoping I can use the feature as well. Any help would be appreciated.
adikat2500 Hello, this is rolling out right now. Most likely not being introduced in your tenant yet as the default value is "true" in the meeting policy Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365
Sometimes you'll need to sign out from Teams to refresh things.
- Hi,
Webinar feature is rolling out from late April to the end of May, so you just have to wait until it is rolled out to your tenant.LinusCansby Awesome thanks. Looking forward to it.
- I still do not see the webinar feature in Microsoft Teams. How do I enable it?

Hi rafaelrivas94 The webinar feature just started rolling out today
Microsoft starts rolling out its Webinars feature in Teams | ZDNet
- Thanks. I still do not have that option available to me though (Just schedule meeting and Live Event). In terms of rolling out do you know if we will need to amend anything in the admin centre or will it just appear one day?
I can see the feature, and can create webinars, but it seems to be working only for users in our organisation as it asks users to sign in when they go to the registration page.
- Hello! Admin for a 100-user org here. Still not getting access to create Teams webinars. The only option we have is "New meeting". No dropdown with any additional options. I've tried enabling "Developer preview" in the options menu. I've tried signing into Teams for Web, I've signed out and back into the desktop application, I've also tried enabling "Public preview functions" indicated in this link:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/public-preview-doc-updates
So far nothing's working. We all have "Microsoft 365 Business Premium" version, which I assume should meet the minimum requirements for webinars?
Any suggestions how I can enable this functionality for my org? We're located in North America, if it matters.
Launch status of functionality: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=80099- You should verify the settings and also the policy assigned to your users https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/set-up-webinars
Hello!
I assumed that any configuration changes can be made by the GUI? However I was able to follow the instructions in that thread, install the Powershell commandlet "Connect-MicrosoftTeams", and was able to verify that both default settings are correct:
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -AllowMeetingRegistration $True
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -AllowPrivateMeetingScheduling $True
I'm not seeing anything in the GUI about this. I already tried creating a policy to turn "Preview features" on for my test account it didn't make any difference:
Any suggestions?
I'm not sure if everyone is aware but there is a known issue in that you have to have access to schedule live events in order to see the option to schedule a webinar. Due to the size of our organisation, we have locked down live events to a subset of people that can schedule them. We've confirmed that only those who have access to live events can see webinars which is consistent with this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/troubleshoot/meetings/issues-with-webinars
Hope it helps.
It would be great if someone from MS could comment on when this will be addressed as we're unfortunately considering whether to allow live events to everyone just so that we can get our staff access to webinars. In an organisation with 10,000 people and only 50 concurrent sessions in Live Events, the last thing I want to risk is people playing with Live Events and an important even being the 51st whom can't start their event.Hello. if someone can help me. It does not show us the Webinar option either. We have the following Office 365 License, and in the Teams Panel everything is activated in the Global policy, and this same policy is assigned to a user, and even so the webinar option does not appear. We have already updated the Teams client, we have already closed and logged in and it seems that it does not make any changes from the policy. What could be happening? will be the license we have? If you could help me please. Thanks a lot.Hey mate,
I ended up having someone from Microsoft log on with me and we did this together. Was a bit anxious but we sorted it out there and then.
Thats my suggestion.
