Live events in Microsoft Teams are an extension of Teams meetings that enable you to schedule, produce, and deliver live events that stream to large online audiences (up to 10,000 attendees). Live events are designed 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. Attendees can watch the live or recorded event in Microsoft Teams. Also, attendees can participate in discussions using moderated Q & A.
If you are a larger organization you may have heard of an “all-hands” or “town hall” call, where you have a company wide gathering to discuss any new business updates over the past month/quarter as well as celebrate any milestones that were achieved. Live Events are catered towards this demographic and go above and beyond your regular Teams meetings because they allow you to broadcast video and meeting content to larger online audiences. Live Events also differ in that they provide a one-to-many communication type meaning that a host of the event leads the interactions and the audience is primarily viewing the content that is being shared by the host.
