Summary
                Microsoft Teams is introducing interaction improvements for multi-room Mesh events, allowing attendees to see reactions across rooms and hosts to move between rooms. Rollout begins in November 2024, with updated timelines provided. This feature will be on by default with no admin action required. Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 412078.


More Information

Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: Mesh event attendees will be able to see raised hands and reactions from attendees in other rooms during large multi-room Mesh events. This creates a greater sense of audience feedback from all rooms in a Mesh event and increases total audience engagement. Also, event hosts will be able to move between all rooms in a multi-room Mesh event. This message applies to Teams on Windows and Mac desktops.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early November 2024 (previously early October) and expect to complete by mid-November 2024 (previously mid-October).

General Availability: We will begin rolling out mid-November 2024 (previously mid-October) and expect to complete late November 2024 (previously late October).
