-->When you're planning Teams live events to hold large meetings in your organization, there are several factors that you need to consider before starting the setup.
Note
For details about Teams live events on different platforms, see Teams features by platform. See prepare your organization to learn about bandwidth requirements for Teams live events.
Who can attend, create, and schedule live events
Anyone can attend a live event without a license. Read Admin quick start - Meetings and live events.
The following prerequisites are required for the user to schedule a Teams live event.
Here are the licenses that must be assigned to produce or present a Teams live event:
- A Microsoft or Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, or E5 license or an Office 365 Education A3 or A5 license. The exception to this requirement is guest users can present without a license if the other criteria for guest users is met.
- A Microsoft Teams license - this is included in the licenses listed in the first bullet.
- A Microsoft Stream license - is required if you are planning to share the content to an external app or device; see Microsoft Stream licensing.Users won't need a Microsoft Stream license assigned if you want users to only record and download the recordings. This will mean that the recordings aren't stored in Microsoft Stream but are instead stored in Azure Media Services (AMS) with a 180-day limit before it's deleted. It's not something at this point that an admin can control or manage to include the ability to delete it.
Note
The change from using Microsoft Stream to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for meeting recordings will be a phased approach. At launch you'll be able to opt-in to this experience, in November you'll have to opt-out if you want to continue using Stream, and some time in early 2021 we'll require all customers to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for meeting recordings.
Note
At this time there aren't any Microsoft 365 Small Business plans that can be used to create and hold Teams live events.
It's important to know that a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 license is required to participate in a live event as an authenticated user, but this requirement depends on the production method used:
- For events produced in Teams The user must be assigned a Teams license.
- For events produced with an external app or device The user must be assigned a Stream license.
Note
Teams live events is now available for US Government Cloud Community (GCC) organizations.
For more information about licensing, see Microsoft Teams add-on licensing.
The user must have:
- Private meeting scheduling in Teams enabled (The TeamsMeetingPolicy -AllowPrivateMeetingScheduling parameter = True).
- Video sharing enabled in Teams meetings (The TeamsMeetingPolicy -AllowIPVideo parameter = True).
- Screen sharing enabled in Teams meetings (The TeamsMeetingPolicy -ScreenSharingMode parameter = EntireScreen).
- Live event scheduling in Teams enabled (The TeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy -AllowBroadcastScheduling parameter = True).
- Permissions to create live events in Stream (for external app or device production).
- Coexistence mode configured to be able to schedule Teams meetings (Islands, Meeting First, or Teams Only).
Important
Non-authenticated anonymous users can't be invited as producers or presenters in Teams live events.
Guest to present
For a guest to present in a live event, do the following:
- Add the user as a guest to a team.
- Have the user accept the guest invitation and join the team.
- Schedule the live event and add the guest to your event group.
As a best practice, we recommend that you create a channel for producers and presenters of the live event so they can chat and share information before the event. Guests who don't have Microsoft 365 credentials won't see the Calendar in Teams. To make it easy for them to join the event, producers can post the event link to the channel. Presenters can then open Teams, go to the channel, and then click the link to join the event.
Who can watch live events
Attendee visibility | Teams production | External app or device production |
---|---|---|
Public (anonymous users) | Yes | No |
Guest users | Yes | No |
Everyone in external access (federation) company | Yes1 | No |
