This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 70599.

When this will happen

Rollout is late March through early April 2021.

How this will affect your organization

Your meeting organizers will now be able to schedule an anonymous presenter for a Teams live event when using the Teams desktop app.

Meeting organizers will indicate when scheduling the live event that they expect an anonymous presenter. This must be managed when scheduling the meeting.

The anonymous presenter must also use the Teams desktop app.
