Webinar Capabilities Being Added for all Microsoft Teams Users

As many of us continue to work from home and with many travel restrictions still in place, we’ve become used to attending webinars and other events virtually rather than attend in person. Starting this month, Microsoft is rolling out Teams webinar capabilities which includes a registration page with email confirmation for registrants, and reporting for registration and attendance.

Users with Office 365 or Microsoft 365 E3/E5/A3/A5/Business Standard/Business Premium will be entitled to these new capabilities and Microsoft are offering these capabilities for all other Teams users for the rest of 2021.

The rollout is due to be completed in May 2021, after which all Teams users will see an additional option when scheduling a meeting:

Users will be able to add registrations for meetings and webinars outside of their own organization and this will be turned on by default for all users within the tenant, however this can be restricted in the Teams admin centre or with PowerShell commands.
