Microsoft Teams: Hide organizer names in calendar view on Teams Panels

Microsoft Teams Panels will add an admin setting to show or hide organizer names in Calendar View, configurable via the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal or panel device. This feature, available with Teams Rooms Pro and Shared Spaces licenses, launches worldwide in early October 2026.

[What and why]

Microsoft Teams Panels will introduce a new administrator setting that allows administrators to choose whether organizer names are shown in Calendar View on Teams Panels.

Admins can toggle the Show organizer name setting ON or OFF in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal or on the panel device. When organizer names are hidden, the organizer name is not shown in Calendar View on the panel device.

This feature is available with Teams Rooms Pro and Teams Shared Spaces licenses.
