MC549348Webinar Email feature updates -customize content and time to send reminders

Updated March 11, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Emails for Webinars are critical to engage with registrants and often organizers feel the need to customize the content. To enable this, we are rolling out two features. 

1. The content of the emails (i.e. all webinar related attendee emails) can be edited by the event organizers. This is reserved for Teams Premium licensed organizers. 
2. Time to send reminder emails can be configured by the event organizers. This is reserved for Teams Premium licensed organizers. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 119391

When this will happen:

Worldwide: rollout will start in mid-July and expected to be completed by end of July.

GCC: rollout will start in mid-November 2023 (previously mid-October) and expected to be completed by mid-March 2024 (previously late February).

How this will affect your organization:

Email customization is governed by IT admin policy to enable admins to restrict organizers with Teams Premium license from being able to edit the content of the emails. This setting is available in Teams Events policy. Set-CsTeamsEventsPolicy 

What you need to do to prepare:

Both these features are reserved for users that have a Teams Premium license. The policy to customize content is enabled by default in commercial SKU.
