HOw to set up a webinar across a team

Hello @Linda Neill,  

Thank you for reaching out to the Q&A forum! 

For your situation, please provide me more details: 

1.When you say you don’t see the webinar option, do you mean it’s missing like in the screenshot below? 

2.Could you confirm which Microsoft 365 Business subscription your organization is using?  (For example: Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, or Microsoft 365 E3/E5.) 

3.Could you share a screenshot of the Teams Meeting Policy settings you checked? 

Note: I will help you blur or hide any personal information if needed.         

About your question: “Can one organizer set up webinars and share with others to open?”:

This can absolutely be done using the Co-organizer feature in Microsoft Teams. When setting up a webinar, the Organizer can add one or more Co-organizers. These individuals will have similar permissions to the Organizer, including: 

• Starting the webinar 
• Managing participants 
• Controlling content and event settings 

Note: Co-organizers must belong to the same organization and have similar permissions as the Organizer. 

Please understand that our initial response may not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to identify the root cause and find a solution.             

Once I have all the necessary information from you, it will help me better understand the issue and assist you in setting up the webinar.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

To set up a webinar in Microsoft Teams, you need to ensure that the webinar feature is enabled for your organization. Since you mentioned that the option is not visible despite being checked in policies, here are some steps to troubleshoot and ensure that everything is set up correctly:

1. Verify User Permissions: Ensure that the user account you are using is allowed to schedule webinars. You can check this in the Teams admin center:
   • Open the Teams admin center.
   • In the navigation pane, select Meetings.
   • Under Meetings, select Events Policies.
   • Check if the Allow webinars setting is turned On.
2. Clear Teams Client Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause display issues. Ask the user to clear the Teams client cache. Instructions can be found here.
3. Creating a Webinar: If the option is available, you can create a webinar by selecting the Webinar option when scheduling a new event. You can set it up to allow registration and manage attendees.
4. Sharing Webinars: One organizer can set up a webinar and share it with others. However, the ability to create and manage webinars depends on the permissions set in the Teams admin center. Ensure that the necessary permissions are granted to other users if they need to manage the webinars.

If you continue to experience issues, it may be beneficial to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
