Updated May 16, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
April 11, 2025: There was an error previously published that we have corrected. Previously we mentioned that the Microsoft Teams town halls dial-in options would be available to attendees and presenters, and that it would appear as separate email invited. This is not correct.
Presenters and Organizers can now, with this update, join a Teams town hall using the dial-in options and code displayed on the Event Scheduling page after publishing. This code should only be used for Organizers and Presenters, not attendees.
