Registration link

Question

Will the presenters and co organizers be able to register via the link as well?

Answer 1

Hi @Howard Kesi, 

I hope you are doing well today.  

Thank you for reaching out regarding whether presenters and co organizers can register through the webinar registration link and I am happy to provide some clarification. 

In Microsoft Teams webinars, presenters and co-organizers are treated as part of the event team rather than as attendees. Therefore, they would not be expected to register through the attendee registration link in the same way that external participants or regular attendees would. 

When a presenter or co-organizer opens the registration link while signed in with the account assigned to that role, Microsoft Teams recognizes their permissions and directs them to the appropriate join experience instead of the attendee registration form. As a result, although the registration link may still appear accessible, the system does not process them as standard attendees. 

If presenters or co-organizers wish to test or go through the attendee registration experience, they can do so by: 

• Opening the webinar registration link in a private/incognito browser window while signed out. 
• Signing in with a non-presenter account, such as a guest or personal Microsoft account that has not been assigned a host role for the event. 

By default, all assigned hosts (organizers, co-organizers, and presenters) are already provisioned for the event and do not need to complete the attendee registration process. 

I hope this response has helped address your question and clarify the behavior you're experiencing. Please feel free to reply if you have any further questions, I would be happy to assist further.    

Thank you for your time and understanding. Wishing you a great rest of your day.

Answer 2

Presenters and co-organizers do not need to (and are not required to) register via the attendee registration link.

For Teams webinars:

• Presenters from the organizer’s org are added in the Presenters from your org field and join like a regular Teams meeting, without registering.
• External presenters are added via Add external presenters; they receive a unique presenter join link and also do not need to register.
• Co-organizers are added in the Co-organizers field and can help manage the event; they likewise join as meeting participants without using the attendee registration process.

Registration links are intended for attendees, not for presenters or co-organizers.
