How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

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.

    These is an urgent need especially for accessibility. We'd like to have an interpreter featured while a presenter is speaking. Closed Captioning is not an option due to captions not being accurate.

    Also missing the ability to have shared content from multiple users at the same time. Not one taking over from another.

    I'm blown away this hasn't been introduced as a feature yet. TLE is so incredibly limited in its capabilities, but this is the biggest shortfall of them all. It might not be as bad if switching between presenters/content wasn't so cumbersome; the "queue" functionality just doesn't work like you'd expect, considering the name. Microsoft, please test drive some professional webcasting platforms internally and realize the possibilities. You can do much better.

    I cannot believe it this has not been yet implemented considering all companies have moved to working from home nowadays. Hopefully this feature will get the highest priority!

    Just to add a "workaround" is to have a Presenter share their Producer/Presenter meeting screen (which is a regular Teams screen) - they can have two (or more) people on screen on there (you need to ensure only the two who are speaking together have their video feed on).

    They will also need to ensure they go into Full Screen mode in their meeting.

    The Producer can then put their screen share Live as a single source.

    Definitely not ideal as you run the risk of quality degradation due to multiple loops through but it does ultimately achieve what is required.

    Much easier would be the same abilities as in a regular Teams meeting to be available for views within a Live Event but hoping this may assist some people whilst we are still waiting for this to happen...

    Can only echo the voices in this thread: When using MS Teams Live Events in a corporate environment, the option for allowing multiple presenters be visible on video at the same time is a prerequisite.

    Teams is more & more using for broadcast webinar event, but the feature is very limited. We need to bring more presenter webcam into the same page, so it will be very interactive session.
