Got Office 365 E3/E5/G3/G5 and using Microsoft Teams? Wanna make your own webinars… for no extra cost?
INTRODUCING MICROSOFT TEAMS WEBINARS
Any user of Microsoft Teams with an E3/E5 or G3/G5 license can now make & schedule their own webinars at no additional cost through the very Teams client that they use every day. (Pending rollout to their Office 365 tenant)
This means that licensed Teams users can now:
- Schedule a Teams Webinar on their own
- Have attendees “register” for your meeting/webinar through a auto-generated (customizable) registration web page
- Send out Calendar (.ICS) appointments to registrants
- Automatically send updated appointments if the date/time details change as needed
- Run webinars for up to 1000 interactive users (voice-enabled) & identify participation levels based on registered users
(Attendees above 1000 transition to “spectators” that can not use voice but can participate in written Q&A) - Transfer participants lists directly into Dynamics 365 Marketing to run campaigns
- Export participants lists for other CRM solutions
