Digital and hybrid events have evolved rapidly, and audiences now expect seamless, engaging experiences –-wherever they’re joining from. To meet and exceed those expectations, we’ve continued to invest in Town hall and Webinar in Teams, as announced last May, with features that help you deliver more meaningful, inclusive and wide-reaching experiences across your organization. Today, we’re excited to share that Teams Town hall and Webinar now provide all the familiar features from Teams Live Events, along with the ability to connect into various access points, including Microsoft Teams Rooms in Windows. With upgraded engagement tools, added flexibility, and deep Microsoft 365 integration, hosting large-scale events, including up to 50,000 attendees for organizers with a Teams Premium license, is now simpler than ever. Let’s explore additional feature enhancements and capabilities that are now available in Teams town hall and webinar. Enhanced control for more effective events Professional, engaging events require organizers to have full control over who’s on the screen, what’s being shared, and how the audience experiences the event. Enhancements to the “Manage what attendees see” feature will now offer greater control and confidence, enabling smoother transitions, minimizing distractions, and a polished presentation experience. The following features are now in public preview or generally available: Control when shared content becomes visible to attendees in “Manage what attendees see”. Help prevent accidental screen sharing and ensure a seamless experience by deciding exactly when and what content appears to attendees. This capability is now generally available for meetings, town hall and webinar, and on the Teams desktop app and Teams Rooms on Windows. Preview changes in ‘Manage what attendees see’ before making it visible: Assigned users will be able to preview and stage changes to video and presentation content, then apply them all at once during the live town hall. This helps ensure a smooth transition, mitigate distractions and deliver a seamless and professional presentation. This feature is only available in town hall, and it is in public preview. Add a presenter from the roster: Missing a presenter in an ongoing town hall or webinar? Organizers will be able to quickly add a presenter by calling them directly from the participant roster. Once the user accepts the call, they instantly join as a presenter, automatically joining the green room (if enabled) and the organizer and presenter private group chat. With the presenter designation, they will be able to share content, control the presentation, or interact with other meeting participants. This feature is in public preview. Elevating attendee engagement Creating meaningful engagement in large-scale events can be challenging, especially when you don’t know how your audience is experiencing it. Without real insight, even the best-planned event can miss the mark. Presenters can join as attendees: Now, presenters will be able to experience the event from the perspective of an attendee, helping them spot issues, make real-time adjustments, and improve the overall experience on the spot. This simple shift leads to more polished, engaging, and memorable events that truly resonate with participants. This feature is in public preview. Make every event secure, scalable, and insights-driven With these new features, IT admins gain the tools they need to manage access, maintain control, and support secure, scalable events, while also unlocking valuable insights to drive smarter decisions for future events. Together, these enhancements help reduce risk, improve oversight, and enable more impactful, inclusive experiences. Town hall dial in-details in shared event dialog: Presenters can join a town hall using dial-in details, including the meeting ID and passcode, provided via the town hall share event dialog. They can connect via traditional phone lines (PSTN) or Microsoft Teams Rooms, ensuring participation even without internet or computer access. Once connected, presenters initially join as an attendee and then be promoted to presenter status, allowing them to access either the green room or the live session. This feature is generally available. CVI capabilities for non-Teams users to join Town hall and Webinar: Presenters can now use their own (non-Teams Rooms) video conferencing devices (VTC) to effortlessly join and present in a Teams Town hall, Teams Webinar, or structured meeting. With Cloud Video Interoperability (CVI) integrated into the event form, everyone can see each other and the meeting video without restrictions. Organizers and presenters will receive join codes and instructions to automatically join the call. The trusted CVI device will join as an attendee and then need to be promoted to a presenter. Then presenters on trusted CVI devices can interact with others in the green room before the event starts, ensuring a smooth and inclusive experience. This feature is now generally available. New IT Admin policy settings: ‘TownhallEventAccessType’ gives tenant administrators the ability to control who can attend the town hall created by users from their organization. This setting allows admins to choose between “Everyone” and “Everyone in Organization including Guests”. This feature is in public preview. Town hall usage reports in the Teams admin center (TAC): Analyzing and understanding your event's performance to make informed decisions for future improvements is now possible with town hall usage reports in TAC. Organizers will gain valuable insights into attendee engagement, participation metrics, and overall event effectiveness. By leveraging these reports, organizers can identify areas for enhancement, helping to ensure that each subsequent event is even more impactful and engaging. This feature is now generally available. Simplify pre-event set up with enhanced control and smarter tools Managing large-scale events can quickly become overwhelming—too many messages, unclear roles, and a clunky experience can make things feel disorganized before the event even begins. These new features help organizers take control early by reducing email clutter, improving how and when invites are sent, and giving flexibility over who manages what. The result? A smoother set up process, with less manual effort and fewer distractions, creating a more professional experience for everyone involved. Specify who can manage the screen: A new option in town hall lets organizers designate who has control of managing the screen during the event. Similar to Teams Live Events, selected individuals will be able to start the event, manage what attendees see, and end the event, helping to ensure a more cohesive event experience. The different options that can be selected are “Organizer, co-organizers, and presenters”, “Organizer and co-organizer only” and “Specific people”. This feature is now generally available for town hall only. Notification management: Help cut down email clutter and stay in control of notifications by choosing when to send updates to presenters and attendees. Once the event is published, any changes to the title, date and time, description, or attendee list will automatically trigger notifications, but only for the people affected. This feature is in public preview. Setting the standard for digital and hybrid event technology For those moments when interpersonal connection matters, hybrid events offer the best of both worlds. By blending live and digital elements, you can reach more people, boost engagement, and future-proof your event strategy. In a time when teams are expected to do more with less, many organizations are finding real value in simplifying their tools for delivering events at scale. Customers who’ve moved from Teams Live Events to Teams Town hall and Webinar are already seeing the benefits: smoother setup, better engagement, and more flexible experience overall. If you are still using Teams Live Events, now is a great time to make the switch. You’ll get all the features you’re used to, plus a lot more. Start exploring town hall and webinar today and see how much easier and more impactful your events can be.

The workplace is evolving, and so are the tools that power it. At the heart of this transformation is a shared goal: to create more meaningful connections, spark stronger collaboration, and make smarter use of every space. That’s where AI-driven innovation comes in. This week we are at InfoComm, meeting with many of our partners to talk about advancements in AI-enhanced workplaces. From more intelligent features available for Android devices to discovering insights that shape strategic space planning decisions, new features for Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Town hall and Webinar in Teams Rooms on Windows, and Teams Phone enable employees and IT alike to modernize spaces with intelligence, collaborate at scale, and optimize the management of spaces. Teams Rooms: More intelligent, inclusive, and easier than ever to manage We continue to enhance experiences and provide additional tools and capabilities, from closing the inclusivity gap between in-room and remote meeting participants in Teams Rooms on Android to introducing new tools that reduce the time it takes IT to deploy and manage rooms. Plus, we’re excited to announce new ways Teams Rooms on Windows can be part of our customers’ town hall and webinar events. Intelligent, inclusive, and easier-to-use meeting experiences Modernizing the workplace adds tremendous value to the spaces where people work. Intelligence in meeting rooms is an integral part of that modernization story, contributing to more inclusive, engaging, and productive meeting experiences for all participants. Speaker recognition and attribution in Teams Rooms on Android Already available in Teams Rooms on Windows, now Teams Rooms on Android can identify who is speaking during live transcription, ensuring clear and precise voice capture for every participant who has enrolled their voice profile. Speaker recognition happens in the cloud, extending the value of existing speakers in your Teams Rooms. This feature enables intelligent meeting recap, enhancing the value of Teams Copilot by attributing content and actions to individual speakers, and enables AI-enhanced audio and video experiences for meeting participants. Note: for voices to be identified, participants will need to set up a voice profile. It’s easy and secure to enroll your voice in Teams settings. Learn how to set up your digital voice profile. Available in Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more. Teams Town hall and Webinar: Collaboration at scale The landscape of digital and hybrid events is evolving rapidly, and organizations need tools that are intuitive, dependable, and designed to engage audiences at scale. That’s why Microsoft has enhanced its Teams platform with powerful updates to town hall and webinar, making it easier than ever to plan, manage, and deliver impactful events. Building on the foundation of Teams Live Events, these new capabilities offer greater flexibility, deeper engagement, and seamless integration across the Microsoft ecosystem. Read more at the blog. Join Teams Town hall and Webinar as an attendee from Teams Rooms on Windows You can now join town halls, webinars, and structured meetings in Teams as an attendee from Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows. Now, both attendee and presenter roles are supported for these large-scale events in a Teams Room on Windows. This feature is available in Teams Rooms Pro. Teams Town hall screen management privileges in Teams Rooms on Windows When the Teams Room on Windows is a co-organizer or a presenter in a town hall, privileges can be granted to start or end the event, manage what attendees see, and promote attendees as presenters, ensuring a smoother and more organized event experience. This feature is available with Teams Rooms Pro. Device and space management made easier We continue on our mission to deliver unified experiences and portals for IT admins to manage workspaces and the devices in them. The Pro Management portal is now the one-stop portal for all Teams Rooms on Windows, and Android settings, device health signals, and management capabilities are becoming available on the portal with every release. We’re excited to bring these new features to the IT admin experience, enabling management at scale of Teams Rooms and other shared spaces in the workplace. AI assistant in Pro Management portal Administrators serve a wide range of internal customers; now there is an assistant dedicated to them. The AI assistant in the Pro Management portal provides product help and information specific to each customer’s device environment. Admins can significantly reduce the time spent searching for answers and quickly resolve "how to" inquiries with this assistant, which efficiently retrieves information from product documentation and even product team office hours. It offers comprehensive answers to questions about Teams meeting spaces and management solutions and delivers data and insights specific to inventory in their environment. For example, it can provide details regarding the number of rooms equipped with dual displays, enumerate all devices across various locations running a specific application version, and present numerous other relevant details to help admins manage and plan. This functionality is available through Teams Rooms Pro. The assistant is distinct from Copilot or an agent, therefore no additional Copilot license is required. Auto detection of room audio in BYOD rooms expanded to audio devices with video The room audio auto-detect and pre-select feature for BYOD (bring your own device) rooms in the Teams desktop app, released in October 2024, now also activates the video component of composite audio-video peripherals (e.g., video bars) and automatically uses that camera in Teams. This ensures that Teams users in BYOD spaces, after plugging into an audio-video peripheral, can automatically default to both the audio and video feeds of that device to easily enable high-quality meeting experiences. Learn more. Expanded and enhanced peripheral support for BYOD spaces We continue to deliver new ways that help admins inventory and analyze usage of all the spaces in their environments. With room and desk peripheral support expanding to include docking stations and webcams, Teams users can seamlessly connect and utilize audio and video peripherals for enhanced experiences in BYOD spaces, like desks. IT admins can benefit from automatic association of devices to a space, device inventory, and detailed reports for peripherals in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. Reports in the Pro Management portal for desks are now available for customers with a Teams Shared Devices license required for a room. GCC-H support in Teams Rooms Pro Management GCC-H customer tenants now have access to the Teams Rooms Pro Management service and portal, enabling them to use the device lifecycle management features of the solution while meeting high security and privacy standards. Learn more. Streamlined, unified role-based access controls (RBAC) for Teams device management IT admins now benefit from unified role-based access controls across both the Teams admin center and Teams Rooms Pro Management portals. This simplifies device management and ensures seamless support for users transitioning between the platforms or managing both environments. Learn more. Poor call quality signals in Teams Rooms Pro Management Teams Rooms Pro Management now provides a signal for poor call quality and helps identify the root cause, making it easier for Admins to create tickets and proactively solve issues. This feature is available with Teams Rooms Pro. Call quality reports for BYOD rooms in the Pro Management portal As with Microsoft Teams Rooms, admins can now access detailed call quality reports for BYOD rooms with associated peripherals in the Pro Management portal. These reports include call history and session details that help diagnose network, audio, and video issues. Reports in the Pro Management portal requires a Teams Shared Devices license for the room. Teams Phone devices: More productive calling and collaboration As AI continues to weave deeper into the fabric of workplace tools, Microsoft Teams Phone devices are evolving to help users achieve more productive calling and collaboration. One of the latest innovations, Copilot summary for transferred calls, brings AI-powered productivity directly into the flow of work. With this feature, when a call is transferred via a Teams Phone device, users can prompt Copilot to generate a concise summary of the conversation. This summary acts as a briefing for the receiving colleague, ensuring they’re fully informed when picking up the call. Users can review and approve the AI-generated notes right on the device before completing the transfer. By delivering context at the moment it’s needed, this feature reduces the need for repetitive explanations and helps teams stay aligned—no matter where the conversation started. This feature is available now. Delivering on the promise of the AI-Powered Workplace We’re building intelligent solutions that help our customers unlock new levels of productivity and flexibility wherever work happens. From streamlining daily workflows to reimagining how teams connect, these tools aren’t just keeping up with change, they’re driving it. The future of work is here, and it’s more dynamic, connected, and impactful than ever. With Microsoft Teams Rooms, Places, and Teams Webinars and Town halls, we continue to unlock the greater potential of the modern workplace to shape more connected, efficient, and impactful ways of working together.

In this Microsoft Teams tutorial, I demonstrate how to use the Microsoft Teams Inspection App. This is a sample app developed by Microsoft built on the Power Platform and it's intended to demonstrate the extensibility of Microsoft Teams when you use Microsoft Power Apps and Microsoft Power Automate and Dataverse to build solutions. This app is a fantastic and simple tool that can be used (for free with M365 licensing) to facilitate inspections, walkthroughs, etc. I've received a lot of questions and positive comments about this on since posting the tutorial on my channel and I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it. How To Use The Microsoft Teams Inspection App34KViews3likes20CommentsChange Teams App Domain
I have a multi tenant app available in the Teams App store. I have to change the domain for that app due to Azure CDN Standard from Microsoft (classic) being retired. Instead of a ".azureedge.net" domain I'd like to use my own subdomain going forward. To prevent service disruptions I would like to host the app frontend on two domains simultaniously and then change the domain in a manifest update. However, it seems the App Registration Resource (Application ID URI) needs to contain the domain name for Teams to allow access to the app, otherwise I get the following error message: Get SSO token failed with error: App resource defined in manifest and iframe origin do not match Creating a new app registration would mean every customer would need to grant access again to my app registration. What is the recommended approach to changing domains for a Teams app?6Views0likes0CommentsCannot view atachments sent by power bi report on iphone teams app

Why Use Avatars in Microsoft Teams? Nonprofit organizations often operate with diverse teams spread across various locations. Virtual meetings can sometimes feel impersonal, and not everyone may feel comfortable using their video cameras for a variety of reasons. Avatars offer a middle ground, allowing participants to present a digital version of themselves that reflects their individuality while maintaining privacy.
