External Presenters in Teams Live Events

Anonymous

Can external presenters be tied to a Gmail account and present?  Are there limitations because we tested with two external presenters after adding them into the Tenant as guests and they couldn't join and if they did join they couldn't present.

Where is a list of steps for setting up an external presenter?  Are their videos to show a presenter how to share their screen?  Why is it that you can only queue up the first item and presenter and send live and you can't queue up the next...there is no point to the queue if it can't be used to get stuff ready to show.

Why can't we include audio in a presenters' material?

    I've got a theory, one I hope someone from Microsoft can confirm or deny:

    The external presenters we brought into Teams Live Events both not only had the Teams app, but used Teams regularly in their organizations. I tried to set up a test event yesterday with someone who downloaded the app, but was outside our organization, and they were unable to get in. They got "You need permission to join this live event. Please contact the organizer."

    So my theory is that an external presenter (or producer, which I have tried to do, too) not only has to have the Teams app, but has to be covered under someone's license and can't just be a random person who happens to download Teams outside of the Microsoft 365 platform. (My organization has everybody on 365 and makes Teams available that way, easy peasy, but people outside whose organizations don't

    • or who don't have an organization - might be precluded.)

    Hopefully someone can Microsoft can confirm or clarify and maybe suggest a solution?

    Linda your document indicates the external user must be a member of a Team not just have certain rights.  Is that a requirement?

    Thank you for your steps.  We did actually do this and the external presenters clicked on the link but were unable to join the event as presenters.

    The ability for Office 365 guests and federated users to be presenters and producers of a Teams live event is now live.

    For more details about how to plan for Teams live events, and different core capabilities and features, see this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/plan-for-teams-live-events
