Add Location to a Webinar
Hello! I appreciate Webinars are designed to be online - but does anyone know if it's possible to be able to add the Location field to Webinars? We often have hybrid meetings and it would be great to include Location. I have tried to add Location within Outlook after it's published, but this location does not then transfer down to those who register for the webinar. If I created a custom template (which I know requires Teams Premium) can I include Location on a custom template?
The webinar description has disappeared from the registration page.
Today I discovered that the seminar description has disappeared from the registration page for our seminar. The description itself is in the original form in Teams desktop, but it is missing from the registration page. The same thing happens on registration pages for events from other organizations. I'm attaching screenshots. For example https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/001cac17-2954-48d0-9857-b3b1bc52a970@d52e4e8e-7dc3-45d9-a6c2-d0bc694268be. Please help us with a solution, we need to have a description of the event on the registration website.
Delayed emails when registering for a Webinar
We are seeing delays with receiving the emails with the meeting link after registering for a Webinar. It is taking around 7 minutes for the email to appear. This is the case with various email domains. Also, Gmail users are consistently receiving the email in their spam folder.
Teams Premium Recurring Webinars
Is there a way to set a Teams Webinar as a recurring webinar? We have Teams Premium and our Training Department is running a basics type of webinar 2x/month covering the exact same topic. We want to give people options of which one they want to attend vs. having to create a single webinar for each date. Is this possible?
Webinar - Attendees Joined 3 Different Calls
Hello! I facilitate a monthly call and I've been instructed to schedule the call through my personal calendar as a TEAMS Webinar. The invitation is sent to 1500 colleagues. IT instructed me to send out three different Outlook invites due to the maximum limit of 500 recipients. I then take the webinar call details and I copy the call in details into the three separate outlook invites. This past week when colleagues started to join the call some called into the January meeting/started a chat, some called into the February meeting/started a chat and come called into the correct meeting. Those that dialed into the incorrect calls (January and February) were unable to join the correct March meeting. Even after I copied the event link in the Webinar invite they were unable to join. It asked them to register for the event, but then gave them an error. Even stranger, I set up the Outlook invite by business unit, the incorrect meeting chats for January and February each had colleagues from all three business units. Can you confirm, is the webinar the best application and is it true that I must set up the webinar in my personal email and copy it over to an outlook invite? In my research, it looks like the limit for a meeting invite is 5000 in outlook, not 500. Can you also confirm?
Please introduce Recurring schedules for Webinar
Hi, We're moving towards using Teams more predominantly for virtual events and teaching. In some cases, it would be useful to use the registration features available in Webinar but have that govern a course which spans 10-12 weeks at a couple of hours per week. As registration has been removed as an option from Teams Meetings, can the ability to set recurring Webinars within Webinar Scheduling be introduced? Cheers RichWebinar Confirmation Mail: English instead of German
When I create a Webinar with Microsoft Teams (Mac) in German and a participant register himself on the public registration page, the confirmation mail to the participant will be sent in English instead of German language, even the attached calender file is in German. Is there any solution for this, so Confirmation Mail itself is sent in German (or at least same language as the register page). Public Registering Page in German E-Mail sent to the registered participant (in English)
External Speakers in Webinars
Hi All, I am currently working on seeing if there is a way to add external speakers as a company instead of individual people? We have multiple presenters for each sessions from the same company and would not like to display them as individual people but rather as the company/team itself. Is there any advice on how to do this or if there are any tips anyone has?Enquire engagement rate of webinar invitations vs standard meeting invitations
I'm interested in hearing about similar cases involving the forwarding of a Teams webinar invitation with registration, as opposed to sending a conventional Teams meeting invitation for a specific event in a large company. Company employees are used to a simple click to accept the global invitation. However, due to the need to send the invitation to several people, we are considering trying something different - the webinar invitation. We fear that introducing an additional step, namely registration, may result in fewer registrations. Do you have any ideas or real-life examples to share on this subject? Thank you! Best regards, Bárbara Maia Silva
Teams Webinar - External Presenters Stuck in Lobby
Hello, I have been responsible for two recent webinars hosted by my organisation, which had guest presenters. When setting up the webinars, I was sure to add the guest presenters as "External Presenters", and they received unique meeting links, etc. I also made sure the webinar settings were set to "invited guests can bypass lobby", so my understanding is that the presenters should have been able to jump straight into the webinar without sitting in the lobby. Unfortunately, for both webinars, the guest presenters ended up sitting in the meeting lobby, and I had to stressfully comb through hundreds of "Attendee" names in the lobby to find them, let them into the webinar, and then assign them presenter status (which I surely shouldn't have to do if they are already invited as a presenter!). It was particularly stressful last night when the lobby list wasn't loading, so I was unable to find the presenters. I ended up having to 'admit all' when the webinar start time came around and then spent the first 1-2 mins trying to find the guest presenters' names and give them presenter capabilities. I just want to know if there is a clear error I am making or some trick to ensure this never happens again. These are quite big webinars with hundreds of attendees and well-known presenters, so added technical challenges are unacceptable and cause unnecessary stress/delays. Any help would be much appreciated.
