Unable to set up Webinar invite from a Group Team calendar

Hi all, 

Hoping you can help. We have a Team site and calendar set up for our WIT (Women in Tech) in our organisation. We want to set up 3 webinars in July for people to register for but have noticed that the only option to set up a webinar has to come from the Calendar icon in Teams which automatically reverts to the personal calendar of the person sending the invite and not the WIT calendar as the sender. 

 

This would look odd when recieving the registration from a person and not WIT. It also would make editing the invite hard as even the co-organisers are limited as they are not the person sending the invite so making co-organizers ability void then. Anyone have a solution so the invite sender can be the WIT calendar. I know it can be done for Teams meetings, but we want to have it as a webinar though. Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this query. 

  • Hi Kiwirish,

    unfortunately, In Microsoft Teams, a group calender (from Team) or shared mailbox cannot directly be used as the organizer of a webinar.

    Webinars in Teams are organized and managed by individual users who have the necessary permissions and licensing to schedule and host meetings or webinars.

      Thanks for your help, I was thinking that there was nothing to be done but had to ask in case I was missing something. 

      Cheers
