Teams Live Events

Introduction to Microsoft Teams Live Events

Teams Live Events is a feature within Microsoft Teams that enables staff to produce and broadcast meetings to a large online audience up to 10,000. The event can broadcast to a specific invited internal group, anyone within the organisation or a public audience as attendees can watch via a URL link and do not have to log in.

Features:

Live Events can be public or private to the organisation
Audience participation is via Q&A (no audience audio or video input)
Presenter screen sharing
Automated Event recording
Live and downloadable closed captioning and transcript
Post Event attendee engagement report

Restrictions:

The maximum audience size is 10,000 (compared to 1,000 for a Teams Meeting)
The maximum duration of a Live Event is 4 hours
The maximum number of concurrent Live Events is 15 (therefore all bookings need to be managed by Information Services)
