Citizens' meeting on November 20th: Participate now online or on site!
The municipality of Ried invites you to a citizens' meeting on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., which will take place in the Ried town hall gymnasium, Sirchenrieder Straße 1. This event is designed to be hybrid, meaning citizens can participate both on-site and online via Microsoft Teams. Access to the online event will be possible from 6:30 p.m. Information about the meeting ID and participation link will be announced later, as reported by gemeinde-ried.de.
Since the town hall meeting is designed as a hybrid event, Microsoft Teams allows users to participate in the meeting no matter where they are. The platform offers special features for large events, allowing up to 10,000 participants to be included. With the Teams Premium package, up to 100,000 participants could be taken into account. To ensure smooth implementation, town halls must request permission from LEAP at least two weeks before the event if the number of participants is larger. Such measures guarantee that everything is planned in a timely and efficient manner, as support.microsoft.com explains.
Functions of the online event
The online event will offer many advantages. Participants can not only actively participate in the discussion, but also express questions and suggestions through other apps and services. To optimize the user experience, participants' cameras and microphones are turned off, keeping the focus on the speakers and the information being conveyed.
Another notable feature of Microsoft Teams meetings is the ability to use live translation, allowing participants to participate in the language of their choice. This is particularly beneficial for multilingual communities. The event will also be recorded, making it possible to share the content later and ensure that no one misses important information. The participant reports also provide valuable insights into the number of attendees and their participation times, as buero-kaizen.de notes.
The citizens' meeting of the municipality of Ried on November 20th represents an important opportunity for citizens to actively participate in the decisions of their municipality, both in person and online.
