Additional meeting and call-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for Education
An update on my situation with Teams webinar. The registration issue was unresolved leading up to my last webinar less than two weeks ago. I had to manually cut and paste the new registrant emails from the menu pick that showed them because they still didn't show up anywhere else including the downloaded registration file. After ending the webinar session and downloading the attendance file, the missing registrants were suddenly included in the data!
Not being able to have an accurate list of all registrants *prior* to the webinar is a big issue for me. I use this data to send a reminder email that the webinar is starting 15 minutes and other communications as needed prior to the webinar. I run these webinars every month, and many of my webinar attendees use the 15 minute email as their primary reminder to tie in.
As much as I like many of the Teams webinar features, I'm probably going to switch to Google Forms or something similar to register participants so I have more control over the process and data. Then use regular Teams (or something else) to run the webinar. Have already lost too much productivity trying to troubleshoot this fundamental capability that every webinar platform should be capable of doing reliably.
