Upgrading Teams webinar users to new version MC762511 Published Mar 30, 2024

In February 2023, Microsoft Teams introduced a new robust way to create Webinars for all its users. The new webinar experience now allows for more powerful and controlled registration, additional email capabilities, smooth external presenter capabilities, access control, and so much more! Customers have shown great appreciation for the improvements we've made in the new webinar experience. Given that most of our Teams webinars users are now on this next version of webinars, we have decided to replace our existing feature of ‘Adding registrations to meetings” (for regular Teams meetings) with the new Webinar Experience.

We will be removing the “add registrations to meeting” feature from new meeting dialog box by June 30th, 2024. Users that want to use this feature will be directed to the new webinar ‘create’ experience.

Teams Admins will not be able to assign the “-AllowMeetingRegistration” to any new users.

Teams users that already have this policy will not be able to create any new ‘meetings with registration’ post June 30th, 2024.

Microsoft Teams: Direct Media Connection cmdlet MC761251 Published Mar 29, 2024

Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: Direct Media Connection is a new feature that will determine the media connection mode for meetings and 1:1 calls. We are adding a new admin control for admins to choose whether to involve a relay or media processor between meetings and 1:1 calls.

If Direct Media Connection is off, a relay or media processor will transfer the media between participants in meetings and calls. If Direct Media Connection is on, we will try not to include a relay or media processor between the participants in meetings and calls. (Infrequently, if end points are not compatible with setting up a direct connection, we use a relay or media processor.)

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out the changes to the Get-CsOnlineUser cmdlet in all existing Teams PowerShell Module versions and TAC's Manage Users Page in late April 2024 and expect to complete by mid-May 2024.
