Webinar features are coming to Microsoft Teams. No separate subscription, these new features are included in Business Premium, E3 or higher. Setting up a webinar is just like scheduling a meeting. The feature should start rolling out to tenants this month.
Webinars will support up to 1,000 interactive attendees, with an “overflow” experience to a 10,000-person view-only broadcast experience.
Microsoft talks about “meetings”, “virtual events” and “webinars”. The distinction here is virtual events are mixing in complex AV.
