Attend a Live Event in Teams

What is this?

Teams live events is an extension of Teams meetings, enabling hosts and presenters to broadcast video and content to a large online audience. Live events are meant for one-to-many communications where the host of the event is leading the interactions and audience participation is primarily to view the content shared by host and other pre-selected presenters. There is an optional moderated Q & A where attendees can ask questions and provide comments.
