Introducing Town Halls in Microsoft Teams and Retiring Microsoft Teams Live Events

Jashan7 We have the "spotlight for everyone" feature already - it's called "Manage what attendees see" - videos that you plan "on screen" are visible to all attendees.

AdskiM Registration will not be available with launch of Town hall. We're working on that.

agebbett We're working to bring VDI support to Town hall as a fast follow to release.

WvStrien yes, at launch, Town hall will mimic many of the experiences with Live Events. Some key improvements include the ability to bring more than 1 video on screen at a time (up to 7 with Manage what attendees see, up to 9 without) and more Q&A controls (controlling anonymous questions, which are disabled by default, and enabling/disabling moderation). We will continue to evolve the experience - more details forthcoming at Ignite.

dhthompson61 If you are seeing out-of-sync issues/recordings, you should open a support case. You can already embed TLE into SPO today. We will have embed support for Town hall early next CY. NDI is all about bringing feeds OUT of a meeting - the Green room and Live are the same event - so that scenario doesn't make sense. Could you clarify a bit? NDI is alive and well, and not being abandoned.

btvirtualevents Yes, you will see a new entry point in the drop down for Town hall. There are no licensing changes needed. I believe the docs will be posted on Oct 5.

oztastic Yes - this is using the "Manage what attendees see" feature.
