Why is this not done yet? it's such a basic necessity for business.

This is a really key need, even if this works as a call me service rather than call-in. To compete with WebEx live events this is needed.

We are looking to replace WebEx Events with Teams Events because of poor video quality due to WebEx not being able to accept an RTMP feed. We have tested Teams Events and it works great. The stopper is that WebEx provides a call number that can be muted by the producer and callers are muted on entry by default. Some of our viewers have situations where they cannot use the stream audio and regularly listen via phone. We have an internal conference bridge but when more than 50 people conference into the Event it begins affect our company wide phone system. PLEASE rescue us from WebEx!

Yes please! We love using the broadcast feature but we also need a call in number for those who are not able to use the internet!
Right now they are calling in and someone's fulltime job is to make sure they are muted and stay muted! -

We are using Teams Live Event for our HOA Board Meeting in an active adult community. Due to the age group, we have some residents who do not have access to or knowledge to use a computer. These residents need to dial in via a land line phone.
A much needed feature

Very important to to user with Citrix thin clients. They can see the presenter / chat on the web version but cannot hear without an dial in number

This is a must have for me... I have too many folks on the move that can do audio only most of the time

Having a dial-in option is a must have for public meetings/hearings. We cannot use Teams live for this purpose without a dial-in feature and will continue to use Zoom/Webex until we are able to offer dial in for public who do not have access to computers.

We are using the phone number for the first time with a Town Hall by my college president and we are floored that those calling in can be heard. I can't believe a muted dial-in number is not already a feature of Teams Live Events.

We are working with several local city governments and they are all choosing Zoom instead of Live Events because of this legal requirement to include the public for comments (and it must support people home bound over land line phones). Is there a 3rd party add-in to the main physical conference/boardroom space that will accomplish this?

Please add this feature, it is important for parent town halls for our school. Not everyone has internet service. Thank you.

This suggestion is a highly supported by my organization, Kaiser Permanente! We use Zoom/WebEx over Teams (although we use Teams regularly internally) because of THIS limitation.Thank you for considering.

Dear feature team, this is a must have. We are losing business due to this lack of consistency between meetings and live events with the attendees dialing feature. We have customer whose client base can only attend live events via feature phones (non-smart phone). Our work-around is to share the presenter and producer conference id. This makes for a large administrative overhead. Please fix this inconsistency. Teams is an amazing solution with lots of traction, but lack of this feature is a show stopper

Without this capability, if we want to do a live event with our staff of 800, we must use another solution. Not acceptable.

This would assist us greatly in investor relation calls as many cannot access teams via browser. If we don’t get this, we may revert to webex etc

Not being able to dial into a Live Event using a phone line is a significant limitation. We would like to use Live Events to share information company-wide but cannot do it as some of the employees do not have access to wi-fi (based on their location) and have to dial in using landlines.
Thank you

This is a need function. If it doesn't happen soon I am sure people will fall back to other platforms like webex, zoom, etc.

I need this feature so very badly for training and large conferences

I represent a public benefit corporation on NYS and echo this commend below:
"This is a desperately needed feature in the public sector where organizations are required to hold public hearings and allow public comments. Government entities represent all citizens, including those with disabilities and those without internet. It is essential that a dial-in option be made available for Live Events."
