Live events

Microsoft Teams Live-Events were a way to broadcast to large audiences but have been retired (as of late 2024), replaced by Teams Town Halls for large-scale broadcasts.

Standard Teams Meetings for smaller, interactive events, both offering similar features like Q&A, screen sharing, and recording, with Town Halls providing enhanced features like larger capacity (100k) and extended duration for premium users.

You schedule them through your Teams Calendar, manage permissions for presenters and attendees, and choose production methods (in-Teams or external encoder) for broadcast.

Lets create it step by step:

Login to Teams admin center: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/

Navigate to meetings –> Live events policies

Teams live-events policies are used to turn on or off features, such as who can join a live-event, if transcription is provided for attendees, or if recording live-events is available for people who schedule and hold live-events.

You can use the Global (Org-wide default) policy and customize it, or create custom policies and assign them to people who host live events in your organization

Click on add to create a new policy

you can set Live-events scheduling and Transcription for attendees either on or off

also Who can join scheduled live events and Record an event

then click on created policy and assign it to users
