Webinar feature not showing
- May 16, 2021
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!
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?
- Jun 22, 2021You 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.- maryo555Jun 22, 2021Copper ContributorI will be looking forward to your reply too.
As a trainer, I am very keen to use webinars after watching the tutorials. I expect it to just 'be there' since it is being widely advertised.
But I am also a sole trader and the technical solutions above are beyond me. I would also like to know with certainty if I need to upgrade to get that feature or not, as it is not clear on this footnote I found:
1These new capabilities will be available in Microsoft 365 E3/E5, Microsoft 365 A3/A5, and Microsoft 365 Government G3/G5 plans. Microsoft 365 Business Standard and Microsoft 365 Business Premium plans will include all the features above for up to 300 attendees. And for the rest of 2021, we are offering a promotional period where all Teams users can try the features with their existing subscription. Please visit the Microsoft 365 roadmap and Microsoft Docs for additional feature details and availability.
