Are you looking to host an event in Teams and don’t know where to start? With options including meetings, webinars and town halls, what is best for your event? Below are guidelines for each of the types:
- Meeting-best for groups where you want all attendees to participate via audio, video and screen sharing.
- Webinar-allows participants to register in advance and gives the organizers control over who can participate via audio, video and screen sharing. Has a chat feature for all attendees and a Q&A feature.
- Town hall-attendees can hear and view presenters and what they share. Audience participation is limited to the Q&A pane.
Please note: There is still a live event option available in Teams, however Microsoft recommends that you switch to another format because those tools will have the new features and experiences.
