First Comment , Thank you very much for sharing this good Video.

[@robwalsh9695]

This is a great feature! Are attendees automatically muted when they join the webinar? How do you do that it wasn’t clear from the video

[@pascalmariany]

This is sooo awesome! I can use this as a teacher! Go Microsoft!

[@qaazz]

Looks fantastic! How will the licensing for this work?

[@MicrosoftTeamsNinja]

Thank you for this feature Microsoft!

[@alankavanaugh6701]

Howdy Folks, fantastic!! When will the Webinar feature be released? Thanks and Cheers!

[@MSFTMechanics]

It's rolling out now

[@jovenaamac6041]

I want to learn more on this online platform...

[@jacvanderspuy5618]

Hi there and thank you for this great explanation. Can all the mics be turned on simultaneously like in a normal teams meating? I assume it can as a webinar is just a normal meeting on steroids? Thanks again

[@ajdinzutic]

hi sounds great! are we able also to export the webinar as a video? And provide a "Resources" Tab for the viewers, with links, files and such things? Microsoft Events are making that so damn good, i can't miss that.

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes. You would record it like other interactive meetings. Resources in this case would likely need to be in the chat for now with this setup.

[@MahmoodNr]

Great, I've been waiting for this!

[@dr.sklenka]

Do the attendees need to have a user ID with Micro Soft ? Or can they join the MS Team webinar with any email account ?

[@MSFTMechanics]

No, they can join with anonymously

[@maryalex092761]

Exciting stuff here!

[@anamikanandy2278]

Can someone who is not part of Teams or Microsoft environment access the webinar?

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes, we actually demonstrated that scenario in this video.

[@ParvathyGMenon-er3ig]

Can a guest speaker ask a question or switch on the video?

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes. It will work like we demonstrated in the video.

[@eliasjulen2860]

Cool features, can I stop my attendees from clicking through the slides? I am afraid of loosing the attention... Also can I stop MS Webinar from sending automated meeting confirmation with link? As I have often different webinars under one registration form I don't want participants to receive 3 different emails.

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes, you can control the slides. There is a button with an icon that looks like a eye that when pressed, makes it so you as the presenter are the only person who can control what is seen, and disable skip ahead or going back to previous slides for the other participants.

[@kazzabug]

If a participant skips through the slides is that for their own view? or will that show for all ?

[@MSFTMechanics]

Only if they choose "take over as presenter". The presenter can prevent that control from appearing to the participants. Otherwise, if you skip ahead, it only shows to that one participant.
