recurring live events
Make it possible to setup recurring live events in Teams Meetings.
Unlike a new meeting in Teams which you can repeat the schedule of, a "New Live Event (Preview)" cannot. Whilst it is then possible to setup a reoccurrence via Outlook Calendar of an existing live event, the duplicate meeting presents with an error "Microsoft teams does not support recurring live events. Contact the meeting organiser for help."
Members of a team want to hold a regular live event update without the hassle of setting up a meeting for each occurrence.

Looking for the ability to schedule one webinar meeting with multiple dates and different times on those dates (unlike a recurring meeting that occurs at the same time).
The webinar will have one link that can be emailed to the registrants - where they can select the date/time they want to register for.

Updating the link online for a public event (on several different web pages) is a real pain! This would be a very important update for us!

Scheduling recurring county board meeting in Teams Live would be helpful. That way we can use the same link for the public who are attending rather than sending our a new link each time. Also, it would save time in scheduling when we have 20 plus people in a board meeting.

I can't believe how far down this is in the votes ladder. PLEASE add it. I have users attempting to use Zoom as an alternative as they are sending out daily classroom schedules and it's turning them off Teams.

100%. I am running a serious of training events every week and will have to send a reminder through every week for the next event.

Agreed. Live Event is such an amazing feature, yet lacks a very important option of recurring meeting setup. Please Microsoft, add it sooner than later.

I scheduled a weekly Live Event and would really love to just make it a recurring event than to set up a new one for every week. Please make this happen.

This is a complete pain. I host a daily work planning meeting with 100 attendees. A regular meeting is frustrating and ineffective because we have presenters standing in front of a single camera in a single room presenting to the 100 attendees. The live event works great, but it is entirely ineffective to send daily calendar events. Total fail here. As a company, we are trying to embrace teams and move away from Webex/PGI Globalmeet, but at every turn, there is basic functionality missing. This product just feels way too cutting edge for prime time, especially in a large corporate setting. I see this as a product that could become really great, but someone should have taken a little more time to ensure that basic functionality like calendaring events worked as expected. Recurring meetings are almost an invention of Microsoft. How could this be missing?

Recurring capability for Live Meeting would be so amazing. Also, to include the ability to change date and time would be really useful :)

We have both weekly and fortnightly recurring live events (company wide meetings) and they are a nightmare with old links being used and having to send new links to both participants and attendees each time. This one is a no brainer, can't believe it hasn't been implemented yet.
The user experience is so bad we are now looking at Zoom as an alternative.

I believe that some organizations can only have 15 live meetings at once. This might be why this feature doesn't exist yet.

We are having weekly calls with our CEO due to the current situation. It is a bad user experience to have to send out links weekly. Would love to have the same one available!

This would be a really useful feature. As a Microsoft Partner, I'm trying to promote Office 365 & Teams, and I'm starting to host regular webinars...but having to create a new Live Event each week is a real pain, and it looks a bit pants to my attendees who I have to send a new link to each week...
This would be good.
