Summary
Microsoft Teams will soon allow webinar organizers to add individuals with presenter privileges without displaying them on the event page, supporting roles like translators and moderators. This feature will be available on Teams for Windows and the web, rolling out from early August to early September 2024.
More information
Before this rollout, all presenters added to a Microsoft Teams webinar were displayed on the event page. Coming soon to Teams: webinar organizers will be able to add individuals to the webinar and give them presenter privileges—to join the green room, manage what attendees see, turn their camera on or off, and moderate the event—without including the individuals on the event page as presenters. This feature will allow webinar organizers to support roles like live translators, event moderators, and staff who are not presenting. This message applies to Teams on Windows and the web.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early August 2024 and expect to complete by early September 2024.
How this will affect your organization:
To access this new feature, go to the Teams calendar and select the arrow next to New meeting > Webinar > Presenter bios > Select Hide from site in the three-dot menu:
This feature is on by default and is accessible to all Teams users on Windows and web.
What you need to do to prepare:
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
Before rollout, we will update this post with revised documentation.
