(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Expanded presenter visibility in Manage what attendees see

Updated September 9, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

What and why

Microsoft Teams is expanding presenter visibility in Manage what attendees see for Teams events. Event organizers and producers can now drag and resize the presenter panel, allowing them to view more presenters simultaneously during event production.

This improvement helps producers more easily monitor available presenters, streamline presenter transitions, and manage large events with greater efficiency.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 567467.

Rollout schedule

• Targeted Release: Beginning mid-August 2026 and expected to complete by late August 2026
• General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): Beginning late August 2026 and expected to complete by late September 2026 (previously early September)
