Microsoft Teams: Private organizer and presenter chat for structured meetings and webinars on Teams Rooms on Windows

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 3, 2026 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Teams Rooms on Windows now supports separate chats for event coordination and audience engagement in structured meetings and webinars. When a room joins as an organizer, co-organizer, or presenter, organizers and presenters – including external presenters – can communicate privately in the Event Group chat, while switching to a separate chat to engage attendees. This helps to improve backstage coordination, reduce in event friction, and deliver smoother, more professional live experiences. Available in Teams Rooms Pro–licensed rooms.
