New feature "Webinar" in TEAMS - switch of name of attendees
I saw at the Ignite the presentation about the new feature webinar. I am so excited and happy and can´t wait for it.
But there is one essential question for me. Is it possible to switch of that the participant could see the personal informations of the other participants?
Only the organizer and presenter should be able to see the personal information like name, company....
This is really necessary for us. Otherwise we are not able to use this new feature and have to continue planning our webinars as an live event.
- Hi,
Currently we do not provide a capability to hide the roster in a webinar. This is in our backlog for an upcoming release of webinars later this CY.

Hi,

- Hi,
as we are switching in the whole Microsoft 365 environment (CRM / MARKETING AUTOMATION...) we are planning to move our webinars from GoTo Webinar to MS Teams.
At the moment we are also not able to use Teams webinar because of not hiding the participants. Is there an update for the roadmap this year? Will be amazing to have everything in one environment in combination with Marketing Automation and CRM :). - ThereseSolimeno
Hello SabineKet I've asked one of our PMs to provide a response to your question. In the meantime, you might be interested in reading this recap from Ignite: Microsoft Ignite Live Blog: Easy, intuitive webinars with Microsoft Teams (FS189) - Microsoft Tech Community
Hello ThereseSolimeno , thank you for your quick answer.
So I will wait for the answer of the PM 😉
In the Ignite demonstration was a link displayed for more information about the webinar. But this link roots to an error page? Could you also please check whats wrong with site?- ThereseSolimeno
Actually, I just left a meeting where we discussed that that page is being updated.
I can also share that next Tuesday, March 9 from 9:00 - 10:00 am PST, there will be an AMA session about Virtual Events and Webinars: Announcing a Microsoft Teams AMA! - Microsoft Tech Community
You definitely will want to participate in that for real-time answers to your questions.
Kevin_TempThereseSolimeno is there a timeframe for the availability of the Webinar? I produce a lot of Teams Live events that may want to use this feature instead.
- ThereseSolimeno
Hi Kevin_Temp I don't know the exact date when the full webinar experience will be released, but according to the roadmap (see link below), looks like this month and next are the big release dates. There will be more announcements in this discussion forum and on the Teams blog space.
