See updated version of this update: Microsoft Teams: webinars plus new meeting registration options | Super Simple 365
What you need to know:
As a Microsoft Teams meeting organiser, you will soon be able to create a custom registration page for any meeting (although really, the feature is designed for webinar style online sessions). It’s great to see that the feature will be available for Teams desktop applications (Win/Mac) and Teams on the web. Following registration, attendees receive an email confirmation with a calendar invite.
What you need to do:
The meeting organiser can set up a registration page from the Meeting scheduling form. The organiser will then customise and save the registration page in a pop up window. When a meeting organiser uses the custom registration option, those who are invited receive an email with the registration link.
By default, the registration page will be accessible only to those from the same tenant. Meeting organizers who want to schedule a public webinar which allows anyone to register will need to contact an admin. This waiver is specific to the meeting organiser, not the meeting. So, once meeting organisers can use the registration page for a public meeting, they will have this permission until it is revoked.
The organizer can monitor registration activity via the registration report download that is provided on the Meetings ‘Details’ tab pre, during and post meeting.
The admins will need to assess and determine the proper settings, for example manage meeting organiser access to the registration function and whether this registration page is available only to internal attendees.
Availability:Microsoft will roll this out early March and expect it to be complete early April 2021. Available now.
By default, this new meeting registration function will be available to all users.
Recurring and channel meetings do not currently support registration functionality.
