You’re hosting a large-scale event.
You need high-quality content sharing or streaming capabilities.
The experience is mostly consumption-based for attendees.
You’re providing extensive coverage of an event (up to 30 hours).
Town halls are a one-to-many experience. Focus stays primarily on presenters and shared content while attendees watch. By default, attendee cameras and mics will be turned off when they join a town hall. However, attendees can still engage through other apps and services, like Q&A, where they can post or respond to questions during the event. To learn more, see Attend a town hall in Microsoft Teams.
Bring presenters to the forefront of the event with Manage what attendees see. Showcase up to seven presenters’ video feeds at once.
Break down the language barrier during your town hall with live translated captions. Attendees with Teams Premium can choose from ten language translations; other attendees can choose from up to six.
After a town hall ends, you can download and publish the event recording to share with attendees. When you publish the recording, attendees will automatically receive an email with a link to the recording.
Gain insights into your town hall with post-event attendee reports. See how many people attended, how long they attended, and other details.
