Description

This item is cancelled as a duplicate of 557165. We are sorry for any inconvenience it may cause. Teams Rooms on Windows now supports separate chats for event coordination and audience engagement in structured meetings and webinars. When a room joins as an organizer, co-organizer, or presenter, organizers and presenters – including external presenters – can communicate privately in the Event Group chat, while switching to a separate chat to engage attendees. This helps to improve backstage coordination, reduce in event friction, and deliver smoother, more professional live experiences. Available in Teams Rooms Pro–licensed rooms.
