Create Your Best Event Invitation with Town Hall in Microsoft Teams

[@ArielPena-d5c]

Great video! Do you happen to know the recommended image dimensions for the header and icon used in Themes? I was testing Town Hall and found that images would get squashed to match the preset box dimensions. Thanks!

Can you please show option 2, so how to invite attendees through the URL?

[@stellatziolas6860]

If inviting attendees by sending the URL through Outlook, do you still need to publish the event after saving the details?

[@AngelaJackson-Barnes]

Really helpful and concise videos. We have our first town hall next week, please can you let me know when you will be releasing the Q&A widget and managing the presenters videos, I'd love to see them before our event! Thanks

Thank you Angela! We're posting the Q&A widget video today and release weekly on Thursdays. - Shaun & Team

why does all i hear is how you and Ryan Reynolds could possibly related? :) you both sound soooo similar!

[@jennaphan6386]

can you show an video where you have to send to attendees via URL? Thanks

[@WorktankGlobal]

We're working on a video to jump into more detail on creating URL and ways to shorten it for easy sharing. Coming soon!

I'm still struggling to get external presenters' links to work. We're still using TLE until we can assure external presenters can join without any excitement.

Thanks.. I have a question.. Is it possible for the attendes to see the event afterwards If they missed it? In The old Teams it was possible. Cant find it in the new teams.

[@ericdickerson5472]

I don't think it has anything like the "allow attendees to watch later" checkbox we know from the TLE platform (where clicking on the event link after the end of the event triggers a replay of the stream). There does seem to be a built-in feature in Town Hall to send the video link to attendees listed in the event using the same branded email template we saw in the above video however. At any rate I find the Stream recordings from Town Hall events are extremely easy to move, copy, and manage inside Teams/Sharepoint so we just use "move-to" to add each "show" to the feed on the company site. Maybe we should ask the Worktank guy to do an episode on Lists to build a Stream video playlist for a sharepoint based website?

Hi Peter! You can find a toggle to automatically record your event in the "Manage Event" window. The recording is uploaded to Stream, and you can share from there!
