Body (from Message Center)

Updated June 25, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

We’re expanding the availability of Microsoft Teams Premium branding to include town halls and webinars. This enhancement enables organizers to deliver polished, on-brand experiences across more event types—strengthening brand affinity and engagement from the moment attendees join.

This feature requires a Teams Premium license.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We began rolling out late May 2025 and expect to complete by early July 2025 (previously mid-June).

[How this will affect your organization:]

After this rollout, if your organization has configured branding in the Teams admin center, it will automatically apply to:

Town halls
Webinars
Regular meetings (already supported)

Branded elements will appear on the pre-join screen and during the meeting experience, including:

Organization logo
Custom background image
Brand hex color

Organizers with a Teams Premium license can disable branding for individual events via Meeting Options in the scheduling form.

This change will be available by default.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current branding configuration in the Teams admin center to assess the impact on your organization. You may want to notify your admins and/or users about this change and update internal documentation.
