Assessment Reasoning
This is a new feature that improves presenter management in Teams events. The feature enables resizing and repositioning of the presenter panel, which primarily affects event producers and organisers. There is no configuration required, but admins may need to inform relevant users and update guidance, so admin impact and implementation effort remain low. The change will be visible to users managing events, so user impact is moderate. Urgency is moderate because the rollout starts in a few weeks and requires only awareness and communication.
