External Presenters in Teams Live Events

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?

    We get your frustration. We are currently doing test runs utilizing Microsofts "Teams Live Assistance". If we finally get any consistent results I'll post back to this thread.

    we are also working with Microsoft's live assistance and are still having trouble.  We have more scheduled and I will post back our results after we finish.  I'd say over all Microsoft has some problems with teams meeting and TEams live...we have trouble with both...chat in one and external presenters in the other.  Zoom and other offerings do appear to be more stable.

    That's very strange. We had no problems at all with external presenters, though, as mentioned above, both had the actual Teams app and use Teams in their organizations.

    I've twice requested Teams Live assistance and...crickets.

    Yeah we have no problems as well. As long as both organizations have Teams then it works without issue.  I think the issue here is if you try to have an external presenter without Teams join in, they cannot, they get kicked over to attendee.  We had to have the presenter dial in via the dial in number for presenters.  Not ideal but that's the work around.
