Schedule a Webinar

From EdTech Help

Now on Teams users can schedule a webinar sessions. A Webinar requires participants to register prior to the start of the event. After registering participants will receive the meeting link.

You may consider creating a webinar instead of a regular meeting session if you are opening your meeting to persons within the Brock Community, and would like that participants identify themselves before gaining access to the meeting link.

To Schedule a webinar please follow these steps:

Click the Purple "+ New meeting Button" and Select Webinar

Open the calendar on MS Teams platform, then click the purple "+ New meeting" button. Select Webinar from the dropdown menu.
