MC978932Large Events: End Session for Attendees and Return Presenters to Green Room

Updated February 11, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Organizers and presenters can now end the session with this new "End Event" button for town halls, webinars, and structured meetings. After selecting this button, attendees will see a message on stage stating that the session has concluded, and presenters will return to the Green Room.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 470432

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously early February) and expect to complete by mid-February 2025.
