Teams is set to enhance the experience for organizers of Town halls and Webinars with a new feature that allows them to select and assign presenters to moderate the Q&A sessions. This capability enables presenters to manage and publish questions during the event, providing greater control over audience engagement.
Timeline
The rollout will begin in February and should be completed in April. This new feature will be available by default in Teams for Windows, Teams for Mac, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.
Impact for organizers
This feature is designed for presenters with an organization account in Entra ID (internal and external accounts). Presenters with external consumer domains (such as live.com or gmail.com) are not supported.
Meeting organizers can enable this feature in Meeting options while setting up the event or during the event itself. The default configuration is still “Only organizers and co-organizers”.
Update from 22 March 2025:
The rollout should be completed in April.
