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.

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 C...

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.

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.

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

@ThereseSolimeno 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.

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.

This discussion is set to solved but I cannot find a way to switch off attendee visibility from one another in Teams Webinar. Could be a deal-breaker for our company.

@BryanNyce can you provide an update or more specific date when the capability to hide the roster in a webinar will be released? It's really essential for webinars to provide this functionality.

@BryanNyce Thank you for the response. Is it still in the backlog for the upcoming release of webinars later this CY?
