Introduction
In a live event, there are three roles someone can come in with:
Attendee – Able to watch the event broadcast and ask questions. They have very limited meeting functions and cannot share their video, audio, or screen for broadcast.
Presenter – Granted access to broadcast video, audio, and screen (only the Producer has control to choose what gets broadcast). They can moderate the Attendees’ Q&A area.
Producer – The individual who created the event and is the primary Presenter. They determine what will be broadcast to Presenters and Attendees. They can select up to nine Presenters for a single live event.
This article provides instructions for Attendees on how to enter a Microsoft Teams Live Event, view questions, and submit your own questions.
