Teams Events App / Plug-in, targeting events vs registration
Hi all,
We would like to leverage Teams Events app in our organization, but find it is less than ideal due to a key function in choosing whether to use a registration form with an event.
There is an audience targeting function, which we would like to leverage, that is disabled once a registration form is configured. In turn, that opens the event for people who may not find it relevant in the Events view (i.e. wrong language, wrong timezone). On the other hand, if no form is configured, we can elect to turn off notifications and not add an event automatically to a calendar. That's great, but then there is no option at all to add an event from the Events view.
Is there a way to subdivide the teams Events app into organizations behind the scenes, without subdividing the entire M365 tenant? Is there a chance that further development on this resource will allow for audience targeting AND registration?

You need registration and attendance tracking while showing each event only to its language or time-zone audience. Microsoft’s current Teams documentation treats attendee access, registration, and event policies as separate controls; it does not document an Events-app setting that combines registration with audience targeting or subdivides one tenant. For now, create one event instance per audience, choose the narrowest supported attendance scope, and distribute each registration link through the matching security group, team, or targeted message. Test with one user from every audience before publishing, including notifications and calendar behavior. Additional teams or Microsoft 365 groups can organize delivery, but they do not create isolated tenant partitions. If separate administrative or data boundaries are mandatory, treat that as a tenant architecture decision. Microsoft has not committed publicly to this combination, so submit feedback and monitor the Microsoft 365 roadmap and Message center rather than planning around an unannounced change.
