Teams Webinar - can we not show all partiicpants icon at the bottom?

Question

We noticed during the webinar in attendee's view, all participants' icon will be showing at the bottom (event if they are just other participants with no video/ audio on). As we expect ~50 pax joining the webinar we afraid it will get messy for the pariticipants. Anyway we can hide it?

Also want to clarify - even if we can't hide other participants' icons, as long as the presenters have their video and audio on they will be visible right? We will not spotlight them as the presenters will be doing a presentation, we want to make sure the slides are enlarged.

Thank you!

Hi @Vanessa Li

Teams meeting provide several views for you to move your participant icon to the top, or the right place. But there is no way to hide them completely. You could read this article to know each meeting view to check it.

Based on my experience, you could try to schedule Teams live event instead of Webinar, it will only show the presenter's content in Team's view and each participant could not see others in it.
