One other neat feature that has arrived for some time now is something called Live Events. With Teams live events, users in your organization can broadcast video and meeting content to large online audiences. So basically they, are video conferences with a much larger audience. Unfortunately, plenty of users have reported that this feature isn’t available to them yet. More precisely, they cannot broadcast Live Events to public audiences. Either it doesn’t appear at all where it should be, or the interface menu is greyed out, and therefore unselectable. Apparently, the problem stems from permission that needs to be given by the company’s IT administrator.

How can I enable Live Events in Microsoft Teams?

Set up the Live Events Policy

The audience for your Live Events needs to be set from the Admin Center, otherwise, common users will only be able to choose from a restricted pool of options. Thus, follows these steps to enable the public viewing of Live Events: By enabling this feature, your Live Events will be available to the general public, meaning even users that aren’t part of your network. All they need to do is join the live event, and then the program will try launching Teams first if they already have it installed. If they don’t, they’ll have the option to join online and then either to sign in or join anonymously. One thing you need to remember is that, for those that join anonymously, their video feed fills the entire screen, and they won’t see the Teams navigation bar on the left. Once these steps have been followed, any user that is part of your network and has all the appropriate rights will be able to broadcast Live Events to the general public.
