Allow multiple video/camera feeds at same time in Live events
With everyone moving to remote these days, it's important for our executive team to provide the same sort of all-staff meeting experience. We currently use 3rd-party tools and want to use Teams, but the Q&A is a cumbersome experience AND our executive cannot each individually show their camera at the same time live as they are answering the questions that come in through the Q&A.
This seems like a gimme sort of feature, but I can't find it anywhere.

Presenter Mode to be available on iPad for Teams Live Event
Lots of Chief X Officers (CXO) just have iPad as their primary device of working. With COVID19, they are wanting to use Live Events for Townhalls, broadcast, employee engagements, etc. They also don't have an alternate device with them, such as Laptop or MAC machines. Given the same it will be helpful to have Presenter Mode available on iPad for Teams Live Event.

Professional Live Events Producer Usage
I have a number of small ideas around the practical use of the producer end of live events.
1 Offer more options with regards to split screens eg two face images at the same time. 50/50 split and smaller/larger would be good. don't just restrict to a presenter and a document.
2 Add in the ability to share from two devices at the same time and switch between them. At least one presenter and the producer. If you need a backup, one will bump the other off the shared screen. It also automatically goes live if you do this bump…

Add live voting and polling to Teams Live Events
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).

Custom Live Event waiting message
I want the ability to customize the standard Live Event waiting message to give more details specific to the event. For instance fill out the pre-conference survey here... The message I am referring to says “The event hasn’t started”... and is displayed to the end user before the event producer makes the event live.

Teams Live Event - ability to invite external presenters without O365 license
Our company organizes quite often events with external presenters.
Some of the presenters works in company who doesn't have O365 licenses and accounts, and currently there is no way that they could present in Teams Live Event.
We are aware of possibility of using telephony dial out, but having only voice is just not good enough nowadays.Could you work on such feature?

More than one person on live event screen
It would be WONDERFUL to have more than one webcam showing in a live event. This would allow for a panel discussion and proper virtual interaction/debate between presenters. Similar to what GoToWebinar has

Third-party Captions
We need the ability to have third-party captions for our meetings - particularly live events. Live captions are not sufficient for large events and require professional captions.
Support for services like Streamtext would be ideal.

Several presenter videos at the same time in Live Events
Currently, it is only possible to share one presenter video at the time. If we want to run a Live event with several presenters having a conversation (ex: roundtable) it is impossible, the producer needs to switch the videos manually. My suggestion is to implement a video galley, like in Teams meetings, to broadcast into the Live Event.

Live event - Mutiple presenters need to be seen at one time!
As the producer of the live event at Teams, we have no option to include more than one presenter on the screen at the same time for the audience.
Provide the "internal screen of the presenters" as an option for the producer, since it is the same screen of the normal meetings and "behind the scenes" of the live event for the presenters.

live event attendee list
Live Event Attendee List (during the event)
Except for the people who are part of the organisation team (producers & presenters), a producer cannot see during the webinar WHO is attending it. For me, having a report AFTER the webinar is not enough.
This idea was already discussed in the MS Teams Community, and it was suggested to post an idea here, but I didn't find any, so here you go ;)

Teams Live events monitoring tool
Ability to track and monitor scheduled Teams Live events. Due to the increased interest and usage of Teams Live events, we need to ensure that scheduled Teams Live events are monitored to prevent any network degradation and no more than 15 events are scheduled concurrently due to the limitation.

Live Event - Producer voice isolation
We held our first teams Live Event yesterday, on the whole it was amazing. My only gripe is that as producer I would like the option to be able to speak to the presenters without the attendees being able to hear.
Thanks

Pin video feed in a recording
When recording a broadcast, the subsequent video created shows the video feeds of other participants (and initials if there is no video feed). Please create a feature where the organizer can mark a video feed as the "Recording feed" so that video feed is full screen on playback.
Use case: Project boards; an external camera is viewing a project board - we want it to be full screen so users can have a clear view of the board rather than having it quarter of the size and 3 boxes filled up with initials of some of the participants.

Increase Presenter Limit in Teams Live Event from 9
Increase the Presenter/Producer limit from 9 to 50. Some enterprises may have about 4 presenters per geography. If you have 8 locations with 4 presenters each then Live Events isn't an application that can be leveraged. Conversely, Skype Broadcast can accommodate a high number of presenters.
Thank you for your share and vote :)

Show multiple or all video feeds of Presenters in a Live Event
Currently only 1 Presenter's video feed can be sent to live. This means the Producer has to keep switching cameras when a multi-way conversation is happening between different Presenters, and as an Attendee the constant switching of video feeds can be very distracting.
