Microsoft Teams live events are an extension of Teams meetings that enable you to schedule and produce events that stream to large online audiences!
Live event types
There are two ways you can produce a live event:
| Production tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Teams | Plug in your laptop and go…
Produce the live event using Teams, a lightweight option to create the event and invite presenters and panelists to participate on their own devices. |
| An external app or device | Professional camera and sound setup
Produce the live event using an external hardware or software encoder via Microsoft Stream. Use this option if you already have a production setup (for example, media mixers) that supports streaming to an RTMP service. This method is typically used in auditorium events, such as town halls, where a stream from a media mixer is broadcast to the audience. |
