What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, with source markup removedThis feature provides the ability for organizers and presenters to quickly add a missing presenter to an ongoing Teams town hall, webinar, or structured meeting even if the missing presenter was not originally included in the event scheduling form. If the organizer or presenter realizes they've forgotten to add someone as a presenter, they can easily call them in directly from the participant roster. From the roster, organizers can choose whether to call them in as a presenter or attendee even if they are not already attending the session as an attendee. Organizers and presenters can only promote someone as a presenter if they are already in the session. With just a few clicks, the missing presenter is instantly promoted to presenter status, allowing them to join the green room, share content, control the presentation, or interact with the meeting participants.
