Video on demand (VOD) for Microsoft Teams events allows webinar and town hall organizers to quickly publish and share event recordings. When organizers record these events, the recordings are uploaded to OneDrive. Once published, all attendees automatically receive an email with a link to view the recording. As an admin, you can manage which types of town halls and webinars organizers can publish recordings for.

For more information on publishing webinar and town halls for your users, see Manage webinar recordings in Microsoft Teams and Manage town hall recordings in Microsoft Teams.
