This feature request is being reviewed by the feature team. No new details to share at this time.
Meanwhile, feel free to share the ideal maximum participants in a meeting, what type of meetings are those (lectures? staff meetings? school wide announcement?) Are all participants students? Thanks,
Gordon Chang from Teams

Hi Gordon, any updates on this? I am losing my CEO townhalls to Zoom as they allow up to 500 users in a meeting. Live Events is not what we want, as it is not as interactive, people cannot ask questions, and the video delay kills the flow.

Agree with the last comments. This is useful beyond the education realm. This is for everyone.
Any updates on this? It is hard to believe this would take days to decide when there is no net new software functionality and Teams is backed by the great O365 network and Azure servers :)

Hi Gordon, I am glad to see Microsoft is paying attention to these types of requests.
In reality, all your team at Microsoft needs to offer is feature parity to what the major players, like Zoom and WebEx, offer. Both offer 500 participants (Zoom) and 1000 participants (WebEx) max users in a meeting. This is normal meeting scenarios. This is necessary as no one has time to teach and create a formal production format using Teams Live Events, when we constantly have to communicate to large user bases during the COVID-19 cisis. Simply not a realistic answer or solution. If you can increase the Live Events capacity to 100,000 in a moments' notice, I don't see how you can't do the same for normal meetings from 250 to 1000 (or even 500).
In addition to meetings, both leading competitors also offer webinar functionalities, similar to Teams Live Events up to 10,000 participants, and still they come on top as they allow chat, Q&A, polls and surveys functionality, all built-in within their webinar solutions.
I really like Teams but as a meeting solution is sub-par.
Bottom line - bring all the meeting functionalities up to parity (or better) with ease of use, and well thought out UX, and you will come on top!
Thanks again for listening to your customers before we fully move to more robust meeting solutions.

Much needed to increase to 500 or even 1000 (I am sorry Microsoft, but Live Events is not the answer to 250+ attendees, as it requires re-learning, a production team to make it work, and is a delayed stream). Zoom and WebEx offer this + many more functionality like polling, Q&A, gallery view, etc. My users are using other platforms as Teams meetings is not cutting it as it lacks depth.

I’m excited to announce that a new Large Gallery view, with the ability to see up to 49 participant in a meeting, is coming soon to Teams! Large Gallery will release as an optional (preview) feature that can be turned on at any time during a meeting. Large Gallery has a flexible design and will deliver a network-optimized client video experience that works on multiple device categories. During the preview, the Large Gallery experience will be available for desktop Teams client on both Windows & Mac, as well as for mobile Teams client (iOS, Android) users.
Large Gallery will begin rolling out with the new pop-out meetings experience for desktop clients in early July, and we are targeting full availability including mobile clients for iOS and Android by early September.
For more details, check out the Roadmap item: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=65333.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Now, keep them coming so we don't have to use our time trying to convince users to use Teams and rather focus our time on value-added work!

Huge need! Make it happen soon especially when all of us are working from home. Also, increase the limit of users from 250 to 1000. Why Zoom and WebEx can do it and you can? The answer is not Live Events by the way.

We are currently rolling out the increase for the Teams meeting limit. The new permanent meeting limit is 300 participants (in the meeting call and the chat). We expect this to be enabled by the end of June for the public cloud, with government clouds to follow.

As the last status states, we have been testing for several months. Although many people have asked for this feature, we received a similar amount of feedback from other users that they prefer the Teams notifications and don’t want them changed. We are currently testing a feature for users to choose between Teams notifications & Windows notifications.
We will update you as work progresses.

We are working on the release of the Tasks application in Microsoft Teams that will aggregate data from Microsoft To-Do, Planner and Outlook with more capabilities on the way. You can see Planner data in Kanban views today, and the Tasks app will continue to support that view. In January we announced task publishing which will release with the new app. Get an overview at https://youtu.be/rTATVGroEsQ.

The team has updated the default sound for Teams notifications so it is more noticeable. We are in final testing, with a goal to release the new sound by the end of this quarter.

As stated in the last update, the ability to use multiple Teams accounts at the same time is being implemented in stages for Desktop. Faster tenant switching functionality on the Windows client has been rolled out to the public ring fully, and Mac will begin rolling out soon. Work is in progress on cross-tenant notification improvements, and support for multiple accounts on desktop will follow. We’ll keep you posted!
Note: The ability to use multiple Teams accounts at the same time is supported on iOS & Android today.
Thanks,
Alex & the Teams teamEdited

Yet another item that is completely overlooked. We just moved from Skype to Teams and having this missing DOES NOT instill confidence in our users. Definitely, product managers need to do a better job at looking at all small and trivial, yet super important items that users rely on.

Thank you for the feedback and waiting for this feature with patience. We have enabled download of a meeting attendance list during a meeting. This is released for general availability. Please note this feature is turned off by default, and needs to be enabled via admin policy.
See documentation for this feature here:
https://support.office.com/article/download-attendance-reports-in-teams-ae7cf170-530c-47d3-84c1-3aedac74d310Note: We are continuing to work on enabling download after a meeting has concluded, as well.
Thanks.

I just checked this and as long as the user has the user notification setting set to "Mute until I join or send a message", under the general Teams settings area, it will not get notification regardless if the invitee accepted or decline the meeting.
My organization found this annoying, but seems they addressed this on a release back in December. Not sure why this keeps happening to others.

Hi Gordon, any update on this? I would like to reiterate this is needed beyond the education clients. This should be enabled for everyone.
