Hi dshenoy2021

1. With the correct licencing for the organiser (E3/E5) Teams Meetings can now support up to 1000 participants active and 19,000 passive

2.) Yes, use Presenter/Attendee options you can set the presenters and then hard mute the rest of the attendees as well as disable their cameras. At the same time they can use the meeting chat.

So, standard teams meeting, organiser has E3/E5 licence, apply presenter attendee roles and hard mute/disable mic in meeting options.

Job done

Best, Chris

Second: You advise to use the standard Teams meeting. Does that mean you think there is no significant benefit to using the 'Webinar' or 'Virtual event' option in Teams?
