Details

What Is It? 

Microsoft Teams Webinars are two-way interactive virtual events where presenters deliver information to attendees. Webinars can be scheduled and managed in the Teams Calendar, where the organizers can enter the webinar details, add presenters and co-organizers, and manage attendee registration. Webinars also provide tools to run an interactive presentation and analyze attendee data for effective follow-up. 

Who Is Eligible to Use It? 

Students, Faculty, Staff, and Guests can use Microsoft Teams Webinars.  

Where Can I Get It?

In the Microsoft Teams calendar, you can select webinars from the drop-down menu. 

How Much Does It Cost?

Selected Resources

Registration 

Utilize registration settings like capacity limits, manual registration approval, and event waitlists to ensure your webinar runs smoothly even before the event. Create a custom form with questions for potential attendees to learn more about your audience beforehand. Gain an overview of your event registration via attendee status.

Who Can Register for a Webinar? 

If a webinar is public, anyone can register for it. If a webinar is private, registration is only available to internal members of the organizer's tenant.  

When manual registration approval is enabled, organizers can approve or deny registration requests. 

Branded Themes

Organize a custom event for attendees by adding brand images, banners, and color themes.

Presenter Biographies

Give your attendees more background information about your event's presenters by including photos and bios.

Webinar Reports 

Gain insights before and after your event with webinar reports. 

Before it starts, see how many people have viewed the registration site, registered, or canceled their registration. After it ends, view details about how many attended, how much time each attendee spent in your event, and more.
