Introducing Microsoft Teams Webinars

Information Technology is pleased to announce a new feature from Microsoft, Teams Webinars. Microsoft Teams offers virtual meeting opportunities to engage with your teams remotely, and now offers webinar capabilities that can reach up to 1,000 attendees with full interactivity, and broadcast up to 10,000 attendees with a view-only experience.

How does it work? 

All Ithaca College students, faculty, and staff have access to a variety of Office 365 applications and services with the option to create a Teams meeting or a Teams webinar using their Ithaca College credentials. Sign-in to Teams using the desktop, mobile, or web application at https://teams.microsoft.com and click on the Calendar tab to get started. 

  • Teams meetings offer collaborative, interactive experiences with options to add structure for larger meetings. Teams meetings are ideal for working groups, committees, business units or departments.  
  • Teams webinars allow the delivery of structured interactive content to a large audience where there are one or several presenters, registration options for attendees, and where attendee participation is more controlled such as during a training session or a town hall.
