Hello

Fingers crossed someone is able to help and support and find an answer.

We have been using Teams for webinars, and it appears all of a sudden that we are unable to change the Sender's Name box for our webinars.

These webinar's are published, and we have been able to change them previously, but following a Teams update last night, the Sender's Name box is now greyed out!

Are we now unable to change the sender's name on a published webinar? Or is this something else causing the issue?

Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you

    Hello @Ben Hickman

    Welcome to Q&A forum!

    To ensure I fully understand the issue you’re experiencing, I’d like to confirm a few details: 

    1/ May I confirm whether the "Sender's Name" box you mentioned after the public site is the one I pointed out in this image?

    If not, you can send me a screenshot or describe more about this issue so I can understand your needs better for further assistance.

    Thank you for responding.

    I can confirm it is happening on both the webpage and within Teams itself.

    Here is a snippet from the Webinar within the Teams app:

    I am also the organiser of the webinar as well.

    Thank you
