    How do Microsoft Teams webinars differ from a normal Microsoft Teams meeting?

    Normal meetings generally involve a lot of back and forth conversation between participants: Discussions, sharing, assigning and accepting tasks, planning and possibly reaching consensus.

    Webinars, on the other hand, are more controlled and the participants have clear roles: One or more experts (the presenters) share their ideas or provide training to an audience (the participants).

    Roles in a webinar

    Here you will find the respective roles and authorizations in a Teams meeting:

    However, the role of the speaker cannot be found there, but seems to be the same as the role of the moderator!
