Simultaneous role-specific Teams Town hall and Webinar views in Teams Rooms on Windows [MC1148546]

Message ID: MC1148546

With this update, Teams Rooms on Windows now support simultaneous presenter and attendee experiences for Teams Town halls and Webinars held in the same physical room. This enhancement ensures that in-room attendees see the standard attendee view on the front-of-room display, while presenters retain full control via the room console—creating a seamless and distraction-free experience. This feature is available exclusively in Teams Rooms Pro.

• Presenter Experience: In-room presenters retain full access to presenter controls via the room console, allowing them to manage the event without disrupting the audience experience.

This feature is on by default for Teams Rooms Pro environments.
