Simultaneous role-specific Teams Town hall and Webinar views in Teams Rooms on Windows

Teams Rooms on Windows (Teams Rooms Pro) will support simultaneous presenter and attendee views for Town halls and Webinars in the same room, with attendees seeing a clean attendee view and presenters having full control via the room console. Rollout begins October 2025. With this update, Teams Rooms on Windows now support simultaneous presenter and attendee experiences for Teams Town halls and Webinars held in the same physical room. This enhancement ensures that in-room attendees see the standard attendee view on the front-of-room display, while presenters retain full control via the room console—creating a seamless and distraction-free experience. This feature is available exclusively in Teams Rooms Pro.
