☁️What’s on my mind
Microsoft 365 is a complex ecosystem and in enterprise environments, it needs a team of people to manage it. My full-time commitment is in a multinational enterprise where I work as a Cloud Pre-Sales. Part of my job is to inform resellers about all the new things that happen in Microsoft 365 universe.
Last week I had one of the regular webinars and I tried to do it with the new Webinar feature in Teams. But it turned out that everyone outside my organization couldn’t register as the registration page was not visible to anonymous users. By default, anonymous users don’t see Teams registration pages.
So until I hear back from my sysadmins I’m back to usual Teams calls.
Have a nice week.
