Microsoft has updated its Microsoft 365 Roadmap entry for “Events in Meet,” a Teams feature that brings organization-wide event discovery and creation into the Meet experience. The entry, Roadmap ID 547834, remains marked as rolling out for Teams on Windows desktop, Mac, and the web in worldwide multi-tenant Microsoft 365 environments.
The roadmap says users can browse events across their organization, keep tabs on upcoming sessions, and plan and organize professional events of their own. Microsoft lists general availability as February 2026, but the feature’s status still indicates a phased deployment, so availability may differ between tenants and release rings. Both General Availability and Targeted Release are listed.
There is also a naming wrinkle: current Microsoft Learn documentation calls this the Events app, formerly the Meet app. The function is the same basic idea—centralizing discovery, creation, and management of digital and hybrid events rather than leaving users to hunt through calendars, invitation links, webinar registrations, and town hall schedules.
Microsoft’s newer Teams event model uses a common creation flow instead of forcing organizers to begin by selecting a rigid event type. Organizers can set registration, attendee interaction, and scale according to the scenario, or begin with webinar and town hall templates.
For smaller, more interactive events, Teams supports attendees using microphones and cameras, chat, reactions, polls, Q&A, and hand raising. Larger broadcast-style events shift to the town hall model, where attendee interaction is more limited and delivery is optimized for scale.
Microsoft says Teams Enterprise can support interactive events for up to 1,000 attendees, larger events with meeting chat for up to 3,000, and view-only events with Q&A for up to 10,000. An Attendee Capacity Pack can raise the maximum to 100,000 attendees.
The timing is not accidental. Microsoft retired Teams Live Events on June 30, 2026, directing customers toward its unified Teams events experience. Previously scheduled Live Events remain supported through February 28, 2027, according to Microsoft’s documentation.
Admins should nevertheless check that their Teams event policies match the intended rollout:

What admins should check
This is primarily a client-side discovery and workflow change, not a new administrative policy system. Per Microsoft Learn, existing webinar and town hall policies continue to govern who can create events and which capabilities are available.Admins should nevertheless check that their Teams event policies match the intended rollout:
- Verify that the relevant users are allowed to schedule webinars and town halls.
- Review whether organizers can create public events or only in-organization events.
- Confirm registration, anonymous access, attendee interaction, recording, and Q&A settings.
- Make sure users understand that the app may now appear as Events, not Meet, in current Teams documentation and UI.
