Hosting A Large Number Of Participants In Microsoft Teams
Something I learned about today, was the different ways to host people in MS Teams.
1 on 1 calls are great, but sometimes you want to talk to a large group. Normally I reach straight for a "Meeting" in Teams when I want to talk to a bigger number of people.
But if you are talking to a whole department or large team, this can be very distracting as Microphones and Cameras come on and off.
Teams has another way of dealing with this scenario, and it is called a "Town Hall".
This is a great way to present to a large number of people, as well as getting feedback in the form of a Q&A session. Think of it as a Live Stream like on YouTube or Twitch.
Take a look and see if it could be good for you: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-started-with-town-hall-in-microsoft-teams-33baf0c6-0283-4c15-9617-3013e8d4804f
