Updated September 18, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Before this rollout, Microsoft Teams town hall attendees typically watch the presentation with a 20-30 second delay. After this rollout, with ultra-low latency (ULL), attendees will be able to view and participate in a town hall at a much lower latency than before, ensuring they are in sync with content being shared by presenters and organizers.

This feature is available for town hall organizers with a Teams Premium license. This feature will only be available for tenants who use the Microsoft eCDN (Enterprise Content Delivery Network) or who do not have an eCDN provider.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS and Android.
