Make it possible for members of a Teams meeting to hide their full names
Make it possible for the host of a Teams meeting to hide names of participants.
When conducting interviews we are having candidates inappropriately contact members of the prospective managerial team. It would be nice to hide everyone's name except the point of contact / meeting host.

When hosting RFQ launch events we have competing suppliers (some adversarial), large, small and new entrants that people previously were not aware of. Having to use webex as we have Ethics/Compliance risks due to risks of pricing collusion (this happens and is real), companies dropping out as they don't like the look of the competition (which limits our choice) and also risks of larger companies buying up the smaller companies they lose to, which then results in price increases

We want to conduct informaion sessions to existing community using Teams but we cannot do that since it we directly send the invite either under required or udner optional everyone else can see the email of the others. WE understand that we can copy the link and send it in an email under Bcc. then we cannot send the calnder details and the option to Accept which we loses the ability to determine how many is joining before hand.

Having the feature definitely helps in variety of situations including mediation, interviews and any dispute resolution with member of public

We still need to use WebEx in many external facing events, just for this feature being missing in Teams. Please, enable this feature..

We need to provide counselling services and keep the attendees anonymous (nameless) so that we can protect privacy of individuals. PLEASE allow this feature

This would be a very important feature for the pharmaceutical industry, where the hiding of PI is important - especially when running patient-facing events.

The option to hide the cellular number of Teams users is extremely important in the educational sector as this creates huge problems as well as GDRP/POPIA as this information should be protected

It would also be important to delete these names. From the internal company perspective, it's a GDPR violation to keep the name of someone who joined a meeting in the chat history forever. We can hide the chat, but we can't delete the data.

It would be nice to have hide name and hide or turn off video as an option for the meeting organizer so both ways, attendee and meeting organizer.

Needed for vendor/talent recruitment calls when competing companies are invited to a meeting to learn more about a RFP. We're considering using Live Events for this in the meantime.

This feature needs to be implemented ASAP to satisfy GDPR requirements in the EU. Otherwise it is practically impossible to use MS Teams for external meetings and presentations.

One of our Business Resource Groups currently has a monthly call to discuss Elder Care Support, and to protect people's privacy we have to make it dial-in only to protect people's privacy on this sensitive topic since people may want to talk on a first name only basis or just listen in. This would be very useful for situations like that, or other cases where people want privacy and not their full names to be shown.

Agree. It can be useful when you want a variety of participants to come together in conversation but for protection of their privacy they don't want to reveal their identities to the other members of the meeting/conversation.

i was hoping to run wellbeing sessions with my team but due to the nature of discussions want the ability to anonymise attendees. Please make this happen!
