New feature "Webinar" in TEAMS - switch of name of attendees
- Jun 17, 2021Hi,
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 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.
