MS Teams - How to Attend a Live Event

Introduction

In a live event, there are three roles that someone can come in with:

Attendee – Able to come in and watch the event being broadcast and ask questions. They have very limited meeting functions and cannot share their video, audio, or screen for broadcast.

Presenter – Given access to the live event to broadcast their video, audio, and screen (only the Producer has the control to choose what gets broadcast). Able to moderate the Attendee’s Q&A area.

Producer – Individual who created the event and is the primary Presenter. They have the ability to determine what will be broadcast to other Presenters and Attendees. They can select up to nine Presenters for a single live event.
