Short Version
Organisers, co-organisers, and presenters in Microsoft Teams town halls will soon be able to join and view the event as an attendee. Due mid to late June 2025.

Details
After joining the town hall green room, you will be able to access the attendee view by joining from a different Teams platform. For instance, if you join the green room from Teams for Windows desktop, you will be able to access the attendee view from Teams for the web or Teams for iOS/Android. You can also preview the event as an attendee from the start.

Additionally, certain town hall features, such as Q&A, will be disabled for you as an organiser, co-organiser, or presenter in the attendee experience you are monitoring. This will not affect the broader attendee experience or your experience in the green room.
