Microsoft Teams: Preview changes before making them visible to attendees with “Manage what attendees see”
Microsoft Teams is introducing a “Manage what attendees see” feature, allowing organizers and presenters to preview changes before making them visible to attendees. This feature will be available for town halls starting mid-June 2025, with options to manage attendee views. No admin action is required for the rollout. Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: A new Manage what attendees see feature will help organizers and presenters deliver polished town hall events by simplifying the attendee view and keeping the focus on participants brought on screen.

On with preview: Organizers and presenters can share content, preview the content, and then bring attendees on screen to view the content. To use the new On with preview option, the organizer must select it before the event begins. By default, Manage what attendees see is set […]
