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 ...

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.

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?

  You don't have to use "preview" as Webinars are in GA (general availability). Did you check under your Users in TAC to verify the meeting policy assigned to your users?

    Hi Christian,
    
    I have an open ticket with Microsoft Support about this issue. We've already verified all of those settings are correct, and then some. I've also bought and assigned an E5 license to myself as a test, and still do not have access to this functionality.
    
    They say they're going to run some "backend diagnostics" that should (quote) "speed up propagation", and also will have a technician call me.
