When you have a
large community event online, a town hall or webinar, you
can use Microsoft Teams. Live events adds functionality and size. Thousands can join versus a few
hundred for a Teams meeting. You create a live event the same way you schedule a regular Teams meeting. In your Teams calendar select New meeting, New live event, add details to your event. You invite two sets of
people to a live event, the presenters and producers
who are working it, and the attendees. Here's where we'll orga
nize
who's working the event. As an organizer, you have the most control including setting permissions. Producers manage the event and present. While presenters just present. When you've set your group, select Next. Under permissions, select
the specific people and groups who can watch the live event. Specific people and
groups, your entire Org, or anyone with the link. Choose who should have
access to any recording, and if you want a Q&A session. If you're connecting
to other AV equipment, your
options are similar. Select Schedule when done. Once the live event is set,
you'll get an attendee link. Send this link to anyone
you want to attend, via email, calendar
invite, or post on Teams.
