How can I set up a Webinar on Teams?

A Teams webinar is particularly useful when you want to advertise a session to a large group without having to invite individual participants. You can share a single registration link, allowing interested participants to register themselves. Once registered, the session is automatically added to their calendar along with the joining details. 

Webinars also offer more fine-grained control over the attendee experience, making them particularly useful for larger or more structured sessions.
