Teams Webinars: Org name vs brand name – how are people handling this?
Has anyone else hit this with Teams webinars? Microsoft recently changed how webinar emails are sent, and the sender name now seems to come from the tenant Organisation Name. You can change that in M365 admin, but that’s where the problem starts. In a lot of companies, the organisation name is a legal/billing entity, not the public-facing brand. Example: Legal / tenant name: FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. Brand: FedEx Teams webinar emails now go out showing the legal entity, which isn’t great for external, customer-facing events. Changing the org name just to fix webinar emails can have knock-on effects for billing, contracts, and governance. As far as I can see: No way to set a brand-specific sender name No per-webinar or per-mailbox sender identity Org name is global and used across multiple services The only real workaround seems to be not using Teams-generated emails at all, and sending custom emails via Power Automate / Graph / a marketing platform, while still using Teams for the actual event. Curious how others are dealing with this: Are you just living with it? Changing the org name with legal sign-off? Or bypassing Teams emails completely? Feels like a gap for larger, multi-brand orgs.
Participant (people) pop out window for Team's Events (meeting, webinar, townhall).
It would be so helpful if you can change Team events (meeting, webinar, townhall) to allow the participant list to pop out and away from the main window. There is no way to see who's entering the event & move certain people into a breakout room. Unless you use the notifications that appears as a pop up in the top middle of the window for people joining the room, but that can cause a huge problem if they are joining the room unmuted. When doing an event that allows people to join late, and they may not know or haven't learned how to mute or turn off their camera, it can be very disrupting. It would be greatly appreciated if we could move the participant list around, so we have easy access to both the breakout room tab as well as the main room participation list. This way you would be able to see if co-organizers are in the breakout room since they don't appear on the breakout room list and you would be able to allow attendees to join and make sure you have the capability to mute them. (It would also be appreciated if you could add turn off camera since you already have the ability to mute people).Assistance on Microsoft Townhalls, Live events and Webinars

Teams Premium Webinars: Multiple 'Webinar Reminders'
Is it possible to create multiple 'webinar reminder' emails such that we can issue reminders to delegates 1 week, 1 day and 1 hour before a Teams Premium Webinar is due to start? The stack of email templates only shows one option for 'Webinar reminder' so we are looking to add more. In the event that this isn't possible natively within Teams Premium, are there alternative ways of achieving this? I wasn't able to find an option that might work in Power Automate for example...Oracle Eloqua integration for Teams webinars
Would like to see Microsoft add or support an integration with Oracle Eloqua for Teams Webinars, as our Marketing team needs this integration in order to fully migrate to Microsoft Teams for our customer facing events. They continue to use an antiquated (competitor) platform because it does have the Eloqua integration.New Webinar Management Experience not yet available in Public Preview
Hi All In this Tech Community post, it was indicated that the new Teams Webinar management experience will be available on public preview from the beginning of August. It's already end of September, and I still don't have it in my tenants. I have a need for the new features for a project. I am already subscribed to the public preview for a very long time. Please advise how I can get the new features on public preview in my tenant(s)? I currently run Teams Version 1.5.00.25719 on Windows 10 64 bit and last updated on September 19, 2022.
Teams webinar 'no longer exists'
I set up a webinar with registration, which was working fine up until monday last week (7th March) - it now says that it no longer exists when you click on it in the calendar, and as such I'm not able to make any edits or download an updated registration list. It also no longer has the ability to join when you right click on it. It is still present in my outlook calendar with all of the original information, and It can be joined from here (so it does exist). The only thing that is different about this one is that you'll see in the picture above there are 6 workshops, each set up as a separate teams meeting. I created a table with a hyperlink to each of these and put it in the body of text for the meeting. Everything in one place so that attendees would know where to go next. Could this have somehow confused it by having other hyperlinks in the actual body of it? Has anyone else had this problem before and managed to resolve it? Or any other suggestions? I can't set it up all over again because 200 odd people have already registered and that would generate a new link to join. Thanks, Steve
