It does not appear that Guest users can be a presenter in a Live Event meeting. This is a key functionality as not all presenters will be employees.

During a Teams Live Event we can either take the TeamClients or a RTMP encoder as streaming source. It would be great to gain the ability to add SIP-endpoints or Skype Room system too.
Being able to stream from any SIP device is the missing puzzle piece in an already great interrop solution.
Imaging being able to use any video conferences room as Broadcast studio?

I`m sure this would empower the Interrop soloution offer by Polycom, Pexip and BlueJeans a lot.

Currently the only workaround is to use RTMP, but the workflow is to bad for the enduser.

We have trouble introducing the live events feature if not every attendee is known. A solution would be, that additionally to the live event option "organization wide (registration required)" potential external viewer could register for the event, similar to the "Guest" registration for a team. So we can invite internal and external users and ensure that every viewer is known with name and email.

Allow the producer to unmute/mute participants if they ask a question. So the experience could be, a person asks a question in Live Events, the Producer selects them and announces "We have a question from Bob" and then unmutes Bob and allows Bob to verbally ask his question.

It would be great to upload a pre-recorded video such as a or town hall. This would allow producers to switch between the pre-recorded content and the live component.
It would also allow people to use Live Events for webinars with better production value as they could record the content beforehand and then be available to answer Q&A live.

With other platforms, you can ask participants to vote and or answer polling questions during the meeting/event. I would like to see functionality such as that available in Teams Live Events (and actually in regular meetings too).

want to have a feature that allows attendees to download a file that a producer uploaded.

When we deliver a presentation, we want to share the PDF/PPT with the audience. Currently, Live Events (or formerly Skype Broadcast) doesn't have a "download file" feature, we need to setup a separate method

Currently, when in a Live Event the Producer window shows 0 attendees, even when there are attendees.

The attached file shows that it says 0 attendees when we do have some. Tested this on multiple events with multiple users.

We need this to be accurate.

Please add the ability to share/display a PowerPoint slide deck. Currently, this is only possible via screen sharing with Live Events unlike with Skype Meeting Broadcast and Teams Meetings (non-Live Events). This means attendees can't browser slide decks during a Live Event which is a very useful feature. This is noted as a limitation of Live Events while in preview, so just hoping it gets added as a feature. Thanks.

BlueJeans for broadcast events plays audio (like elevator music) so that the remote parties can test the audio devices before the critical events start. This prevents the need for outside companies and needing to start the even early to do audio tests.

This would allow videos to be uploaded into the broadcast stream ahead of time with audio and the producer would just send the file to live to start the video/audio. This is a future in some of the competitive products like BlueJeans.

Some of the events run over the 4 hour limitation currently set. We want the 4 hour limit increased to cater for a full day event.

Creating 2 live events to make up 8 hours is also not a optimal solution for us

Allow live event audience members to dial in to the audio stream using the PSTN.

With Skype Broadcast an event organizer could go to broadcast.skype.com to access each of the upcoming events. In Teams there is no place to see your events list. If the event is more than 2 weeks away you cannot even get back to the event settings from Teams, because the Teams Meeting calendar is limited to only 14 days.

When creating a live event, you can create it quickly if the mailing list can be used to set the access permission.
I would like to improve this function

During the event we want the ability to see who the attendees are that joined, currently you can only see the total amount of attendees that joined…further to this, we want to know what their experience might be…We want this to be available in real time as the event is running…we want to be able to pinpoint which attendee is having a bad experience as well as knowing when the network between producer / presenter and service is causing the delay as the event progresses.

Even in live events, the Include System audio feature should be implemented when sharing windows.

Use teams app to provide content delivery bandwidth utilization reductions through P2P along with network reporting and statistics similar to what Hive provides. Other applications like Zoom, BlueJeans for broadcast events offer this native to the application.
