Teams for ILT - webinar vs meeting type?

We have Teams Meetings and Events integrated with Docebo. We’ve not used the Event type (which is now deprecated per the KB). We have a need to use the Webinar meeting type. Is this something that can be selected when setting up an ILT session? 

My understanding, which I think may be incorrect, was that Webinars would be a different type of integration similar to Events, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. So if we create an ILT and select Teams “Meeting” to use for it, can we then go into the meeting in Teams and change the template to a webinar? I expect that would change the URL, but that’s fine as we can make the change before sending our any invitations.

When you setup the VILT for Teams in Docebo, the meeting type must match that of the Teams account. See if this helps:

When you setup the VILT for Teams in Docebo, the meeting type must match that of the Teams account.

 

From Docebo’s standpoint there are only two types - “Meeting” and “Event”, with the latter going away April 2026 per the KB.

I just setup a new meeting directly in Teams from my calendar via the New button (see below) and see there is an Org template for webinars:
 

I was thinking the next thing to try would be to create a new ILT session using the Teams (“Meeting” account) and then edit the meeting in Teams to apply the Webinar template, but a search is showing that that isn’t possible - the template must be applied at time of meeting creation.

Has anyone actually used the Teams webinar template when creating a Docebo ILT session?

Hi! In my team we are facing a big issue with this. We do not fully understand why Docebo is deprecating Teams Event (Webinar) integration with no alternative whatsoever.

For legal reasons we need to use Teams Webinar settings for our live events and not Teams Meeting, since Webinar provides attendees a level of privacy (with inactive microphones and cameras during the event) that Meetings does not have.

Our workaround: The only workaround that we are testing right now is to configure the ILT event as Videoconference tool > Custom tool and adding there the joining link for the webinar created in Teams.

Issues: of course integrating just the external link does not allow us to gather data from the Teams Webinar such as time spent per user. We can only get attendance based on the user clicking the joining link -which is not quality data- and then we must gather real data from the Teams Webinar dashboard manually. So, not ideal.

Does anyone have any best practices or additional info about this Docebo decision?
