Teams – Live Events demo. – Thiago Beier🍁

Hi there

In this article I’m covering Live Events demo.

Created a live events under a users associated to a Live Meeting policy that allows “Live Meeting” for internal users only. Also tested external users invitation.

Before we get into this demonstration have in mind the following

Presenters and organizers include the following:

Presenters from my organization
Presenters from other organizations (Live Events restriction) – this includes anonymous and external participants. Presenters are designated by the organizer and require a personal invite from the organizer.

Presenters and organizers have access to every feature in a live event.

Participants

There are several types of live event participants:

In this lab I used Microsoft Teams Client version: 1.3.0013515 , Web version and Mobile client on Iphone X and Android S10.

Live Events management works better on Windows 10 OS (not web neither client are supported to initiate the Live Meeting and its controls)

Using the Microsoft Teams Client version on Windows 10 log into Teams with a user with rights to create Live events invitation.

Go to Calendar \ New Meeting (drop down menu) select Live event and click on it.

On the next screen “New live event” you have its wizard to complete this request.
