See how companies are using virtual events in Teams
Leading a real estate company with virtual events
Coldwell Banker Real Estate needed to connect almost 100,000 agents across the United States with leadership. Using Teams, they hosted virtual events to enable engagement with their CEO and provide live online video question and answer sessions.
Hosting a company-wide competition and cultural event, virtually
Johnson Controls annual Tech Challenge was held in September 2020 using Teams and Microsoft 365. They had 50 percent more attendees, more global and diverse teams competing, and more engagement than any other year.
The word “webinar” is a combination of “seminar” and “web,” and it could be a presentation, a lecture, a workshop, or another event hosted online. Webinars and virtual events are used to build engagement and relationships; enable hybrid work; empower communication and collaboration with employees working remotely and from home; and inform, demonstrate, and teach.
Ordinary meetings generally include a lot of back and forth among the participants—having discussions, sharing, assigning and accepting tasks, making plans, and working toward consensus.
Webinars, on the other hand, are more controlled, and the participants have clearer roles. One or more experts (the presenters) share their ideas or provide training to an audience (the attendees).
Anyone who can schedule a Teams meeting can schedule a webinar. If you’re unable to schedule one, check with your IT admin.
Anyone can register, but your IT admin can restrict registration to people in your organization. You may also choose to restrict registration when you schedule the webinar.
After your webinar, create customer journeys and send personalized follow-up emails to your attendees using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing.
Webinars in Office 365 and Microsoft 365 include basic webinar functionality, such as registration for up to 1,000 attendees, a co-organizer role, interactivity with Q&A, attendee reporting, and Dynamics 365 Marketing options. Advanced webinars in Teams Premium include all of the basic webinar functionality but with new host controls and event management controls that help you seamlessly connect with any audience. Some of these advanced features include automated reminder emails, a registration waitlist and manual approval, a virtual green room, and the ability to manage what attendees see on screen.
