Guest registration for live events
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.

This is a no brainer. It should be a standard feature.

The Microsoft roadmap shows that this is coming. But refers to "webinars"... Can we assume that this is for Live Events?: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?featureid=66586

Any news here?
There are 2 features why we still use Zoom
- this one ... so a registration possibility
- fact that you cannot pass ''Host'' to another participant so that that person for example can set-up the break-out rooms -

I was really hoping the View Only/Large Meetings plus the new "People I invite" lobby setting in a traditional Teams meeting would help with this, but looks from the documentation that this upcoming lobby feature is going to require authentication so that's a real disappointment. We really need something between "Org-wide" and "Anyone in the universe." It's so sad when I, as the Microsoft Adoption guy at my large organization, have to tell users, "I'm sorry, Teams can't do that. Use Zoom."

I've created a MS Forms registration form and a Power Automate Flow to send an email confirmation with an invitation containing the Teams Live Event attendee link but I'm not able to prevent users from sharing that link with others who could then join the event anonymously.

This should be available fo normal Scheduled meeting too because it's impossible to track who is entering from the lobby when we have a large number of attendees

at the very least it would be good to enforce external users to provide their name. I appreciate this is not a watertight solution but most people are honest!

What's going on with this case? This is a very urgent need to implement this in MS Teams.

In order to compete with products like GotoWebinar etc Microsoft really need to allow for secure guest pre-registration and unique user joining links. Otherwise companies like mine have no way of monetising a webinar event as anyone with the link could join the vent anonymously. Our company has really made use of Teams for telephony as well as 'Team Meetings' I would love us to be able to use it to deliver public webinars was well so our whole user experience is in one platform, but for the time being we need to stick with GotoWebinar

Definitely would like to see registration and event reminders(ie like 2 weeks and 1 week out remind attendees that it's coming)

I wish to see this feature to be able to capture attendee registration for a Teams Live Event released ASAP in 2021. Please commit on a date

Is this not now in progress? I thought it was announced last year:

"...we will watch your votes and comments..." This suggests that if there are not enough votes it might not be moved to a higher priority. I can't imagine that this wouldn't be an obvious win for Microsoft to move its customers away from their competitors. For me, it's a no-brainer...if I have the ability to manage registration for a Live Event (Webinar) then I drop Zoom in a heart beat.

Thank you for the update. Our organization is currently shopping for a solution to hold our product demonstrations and webinars. Teams is not currently in the running because of the complexity with getting external people registered and able to access the content easily.
If you're looking for more business cases to support this feature, consider that many companies are legally required to prohibit embargoed countries from attending training and sales demonstrations as part of normal export compliance. So we can't use "public" as a permission option. If we could force registration, our organizers could audit and verify attendees before an event and we could at least show some effort of due diligence on the matter.

We are using Live Events since june 2020, and the most two problems that our events responsible tell us are the ability to know who are connect to contact later. Users are so unsatisfied with that.

This is along with stats of participation is the only reason we still use gotowebinar.
