Summary
                Microsoft Teams will introduce a feature to disable social sharing for public webinar attendees. Organizers can turn off the option in Event Access settings. The rollout begins in June 2024 and completes in July 2024, with no admin action required. Roadmap ID: 393225.


More Information

For Microsoft Teams webinars where event access is set to public, when an attendee registers, they are given the option to share the event link to social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn. This feature update provides the ability to disable this setting for public webinars. 

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early June 2024 and expect to complete by early July 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Webinar organizers will have the ability to disable social sharing so that registrants will not have a direct social sharing option upon registration. A toggle in the Event Access settings in the Webinar details page will be available, and the organizer can select off to disable this option for the registrants.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
