IT Admin Policy Change for the New Webinars experience on Teams
As part of the new webinar experience in Teams, a new events policy has been introduced. To ensure a smooth transition, the old webinar policy setting of AllowMeetingRegistration was temporarily used to control the availability of the new webinar. However, this will change on May 3, 2023, as the settings that control availability of the old and new webinars will be decoupled.
AllowMeetingRegistration will only control the availability of the require registration option in Teams meetings, while AllowWebinar will control the entry point for the new webinar experience in the new meeting dropdown in Teams Calendar. Users who want to create a webinar should ensure that AllowWebinar is set to ON, while those who only want to use meeting with registration and not the new webinar should set AllowWebinar to be OFF and AllowMeetingRegistration to be ON.
IT admins can use Powershell cmdlets such as New-CsTeamsEventsPolicy, Set-CsTeamsEventsPolicy, Grant-CsTeamsEventsPolicy, Get-CsTeamsEventsPolicy, and Remove-CsTeamsEventsPolicy to configure the new events policy. For more information on getting started with Teams webinar, visit the provided link.
