Description
Microsoft Teams is available through your Office 365 subscription. Within an ordinary Teams Meeting environment, participants often interact virtually through open discussion. By using the Teams Webinar function, presenters are given a more-controlled virtual environment. Participants in a Webinar are assigned defined roles as either presenters or attendees. The functions of a Teams Webinar include:
- delivering live lectures/presentations virtually, with presenter and attendee roles clearly defined;
- scheduling and registration for Webinar attendees;
- utilizing audience participation tools including Polling and Live Reactions;
- downloading attendance reports following a Webinar.
