New feature "Webinar" in TEAMS - switch of name of attendees
- 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.
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?
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.
- I am also interested in learning more. We currently use Webex, which allows attendees to remain anonymous to each other, but the Organizer/Presenters can view their names. I would really like to use Microsoft Teams Webinars, but if attendees aren't anonymous to each other, we cannot use this tool.
- Yes - that´s the same reason why we are using Webex instead of TEAMS for our webinars 😞
Hello SabineKet and Brett Wilms You might be interested in joining tomorrow's "Ask Microsoft Anything" session on Virtual Events and Webinars, where the PMs on those features will be available to answer your questions directly. Details here: Microsoft Teams AMA - Microsoft Tech Community
Hi Brett Wilms There are two versions of Teams: the meetings version and Live Events, which was originally intended for larger groups up to 10,000 (Teams meetings can host up to 1,000). With Live Events, users are anonymous (no names, no videos) but can still ask questions in the Q&A window. What are Microsoft Teams live events? - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs
Thank you, ThereseSolimeno . Last week Microsoft announced webinars, which allows for a largely attended, interactive experience, with registration and an attendance dashboard. There is more information here. We are very interested in the benefits this webinar experience will bring, however there is no information on whether or not the attendees can be set as anonymous to each other. We often hold webinars where we do not want other (potential) customers to know who is on the same meeting. If this feature is not in place, we cannot use Microsoft Teams Webinars for external communications.
