Microsoft Teams: Host and attendee interaction improvements for multi-room Mesh events

Microsoft Teams will soon introduce enhancements for multi-room Mesh events, allowing attendees to see reactions from other rooms and enabling hosts to move between rooms. This update, linked to Roadmap ID 412078, will roll out in October 2024 and requires no admin action.

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.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 412078.

When this will happen:

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

General Availability (list environments on the same schedule here): We will begin rolling out mid-October 2024 and expect to complete late October 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Before this rollout: Mesh event attendees are not able to see raised hands and reactions from attendees in other rooms during large multi-room Mesh events.

Before rollout, we will update this post with revised documentation.
