Microsoft Teams already comes with our M365 subscription, so this provides our organization a way to have video meetings/conferences without the extra added costs. It also is really easy to use, easy to set up, and has great integrations with other software that we already use. It makes doing video conferencing really easily. We use it weekly for meetings, especially since we are a fully remote organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is sometimes difficult for a new user to pick up on some things, such as sharing videos and ensuring the sound goes through, as well as some other nuanced items. It sometimes has difficulties in linking to my Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teams Webinars is how easy it is to organise and attend professional online sessions without needing a separate platform. Since many workplaces already use Microsoft Teams, the webinar feature feels familiar and simple to access.

I like that it supports registration, calendar invites, attendee tracking, screen sharing, Q&A, and recordings in one place. It makes training sessions, company updates, and larger meetings much more organised, instead of turning everything into another chaotic link-sharing festival, because apparently one meeting invite is never enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Microsoft Teams Webinars is that some features can feel a bit hidden or less obvious at first, especially when setting up registration, attendee permissions, or Q&A settings. It works well once you know where everything is, but the setup process could be more straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The "Green Room" & Presenter Control

This is a game-changer for professional nerves. Before you go live, you and your co-presenters can hang out in a private backstage area. You can test your mic levels, check your lighting, and do a final slide walkthrough without the audience seeing or hearing you. Once you’re ready, you "start" the event for everyone else.

2. Intelligent Recap (AI-Powered)

If you have a Teams Premium or Copilot license, the post-event work is practically done for you.

Automated Summaries: It generates notes, identifies follow-up tasks, and marks when specific speakers were talking.

Visual Recaps: It now even highlights key moments based on when screens were shared, making it easy for those who missed it to jump to the "good parts."

3. Highly Customizable Registration

Unlike a standard meeting link, webinars give you a branded registration page.

You can add your logo, a banner, and custom questions (like "What is your job title?" or "How did you hear about us?").

Capacity Controls: You can set a hard cap on registrants (up to 1,000 interactive attendees) or enable a waitlist.

4. Structured Interaction

Webinars strike a perfect balance between a "lecture" and a "conversation":

Moderated Q&A: You can vet questions before they go public, ensuring the chat doesn't get cluttered with repeats or off-topic comments.

Cameo & Presenter Modes: You can overlay your video feed directly onto your PowerPoint slides (Cameo), making it look more like a news broadcast than a standard screen share.

5. Seamless 365 Integration

Because it’s built into the ecosystem, your registration data can flow directly into Dynamics 365 Marketing. After the webinar, you can see exactly who attended, how long they stayed, and how they interacted—all without exporting CSV files manually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The "Ecosystem Tax" (Complexity for Guests)

The biggest pain point is often for external participants.

The App Hurdle: While guests can join via a web browser, the experience is often buggy compared to the desktop app. If a guest doesn't have Teams installed, they might struggle with audio/video permissions or missing interactive features like Polls.

Account Switching: For users who belong to multiple organizations, switching "tenants" to join a webinar in another company's environment can be slow and lead to "Access Denied" errors.

2. Rigid Email Customization

Even with Teams Premium, the automated emails (confirmations, reminders) can feel a bit "template-heavy."

Spam Issues: Recent reports in 2026 suggest that because these emails are sent via the Dynamics 365 delivery service, they occasionally get flagged as spam by aggressive filters, leading to "no-shows" from registered guests.

Formatting Limits: You can’t always make the emails look exactly like your brand’s bespoke marketing newsletters without significant manual effort.

3. High Resource Consumption

Teams is notorious for being heavy on system resources (CPU and RAM).

If a presenter is running a webinar on a mid-range laptop while also having 20 Chrome tabs and a large Excel sheet open, the "Presenter Mode" or "Cameo" features can cause the video to lag or the entire app to crash. It’s not as "lightweight" as some competitors.

4. Fragmented Feature Tiers (Paywalls)

It can be confusing to keep track of what is "Standard" versus "Premium."

Features that feel essential for a professional event—like the Green Room, Registration Waitlists, and Live Translation—are often locked behind a Teams Premium or Copilot license. If your organization hasn't upgraded, the "Webinar" tool feels like a slightly restricted regular meeting.

5. Interaction Bottlenecks

Breakout Room Limits: If your webinar exceeds 300 participants, you lose the ability to use Breakout Rooms. For large-scale workshops that need small-group discussion, this is a significant roadblock.

Q&A Moderation Lag: In very large sessions, there can sometimes be a slight delay between an attendee posting a question and the moderator seeing it, which can break the "flow" of a live session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft teams is a good tool for internal and external communication that utilizes lots of tools to simplify the process between all personnel's. I use the software everyday part of my job and usually we face little to no issues with connectivity or meetings connections.

Meetings have lots of interaction tool that can help the speaker to present the idea clearly and help with the demonstration of these ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Usually, we face little to no issues with the software. However, one area they really need to improve is how easy it is to share files between members in different chats, or when adding new members to a group chat.

Right now, if a file is uploaded in a private chat and then shared with someone else, the new receiver often doesn’t have permission to view or download it. A similar issue comes up when new members join an existing group chat where files were already shared earlier—they can’t access those previously shared files.

Over time, this becomes very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Microsoft Teams Webinars for its ease of use, which makes it straightforward to navigate the platform. The emojis and voting features add a nice interactive touch, while the ability to change backgrounds helps personalize the virtual experience. Breakout rooms are also a valuable feature for facilitating discussions in smaller groups. The green room is great for prepping, testing audio, and syncing slides before the webinar starts. I also appreciate the AI intelligent recap feature, which is quite helpful. Additionally, the integration with the entire Microsoft universe, including Outlook and Teams, is seamless, making it easy to incorporate into our workflow. Installation was very easy, just click and go, and it felt like installing the whole package was hassle-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some features behind paywalls, which can be annoying. It feels like some useful things, like translation and wait lists, you have to pay for. It's also really resource-intensive, making it tough on computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Microsoft Teams Webinars to be a good and reliable solution for creating webinars, with all the basic and important functionalities needed. I appreciate being able to control what the audience sees and having the meetings directly in the audience's calendar, so they can view upcoming webinars without manually adding them. Presenters can share their video, walk through important topics, have polls, chat, and Q&A. It's a very good solution for those using the Microsoft ecosystem as part of their corporate subscription. I like that you can easily set up a registration page directly on Microsoft Teams and integrate it with HubSpot CRM, which adds new contacts or updates existing ones automatically. The green room feature for presenters and organizers to start the webinar before the audience sees them is also nice. The access, permissions, and roles management are well distributed. I find it great that there's a lot of customization available for email notifications, like letting people know when they're registered, approved, rejected, if a webinar is moved or canceled, and sending reminders. These notifications are customizable, which is amazing. I also appreciate the reasonable pricing, even for the paid version, which is not expensive. For audience communication, the ability to have Q&A's, chats, and polls with granular settings is valuable. Lastly, the integration with Outlook and the calendar works perfectly, and that's one reason we chose Microsoft Teams Webinars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There're a few minor things that I find limiting with Microsoft Teams Webinars. One issue is the email reminders. Right now, there's only one email reminder, and you can't have more, like one day before and one hour before the event. More reminders would be nice. Also, it's not possible to hide the number of people joining the webinar. Similarly, you can't hide the number of votes in polls, which can be distracting. The way polls, chats, and Q&A's are set up as tabs can be a bit weird and overlapping, making it hard for people to follow everything. It might be better to leave it to the administrator to decide. Additionally, if someone joins from a browser rather than the Microsoft Teams app, they might not have as smooth an experience. So there could be improvements for those not in the Microsoft ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Microsoft Teams webinars is how easy it is to schedule and manage webinars through the calendar. Sending invites, joining links, and reminders is handled automatically, which saves a lot of time. The interface is straightforward, and features like screen sharing, chat, and attendee management make it smooth to run webinars. It also integrates with other Microsoft tools, so everything stays organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Teams webinars works well overall, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The interface can feel a bit crowded at times, and it takes a while to get used to all the options and settings. For larger webinars, managing participants and interactions could be simpler and more streamlined. Occasionally, there are performance issues such as slight lag or audio glitches, especially when the internet connection is unstable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
