We are introducing a redesigned Meet app in Microsoft Teams that delivers a new, unified Events experience. This update modernizes how users create, discover, and manage events—bringing webinars, town halls, and custom events into a single streamlined workflow. Users will continue to access their current Meetings and Audio recap experiences without any disruption.
