Teams Live Events are available to be scheduled by current faculty and staff, but can be attended by anyone.
Teams delivers chat-based collaboration, calling, meetings, and live events, so you can expand the audience of your meetings.
Teams live events enable users to broadcast video and meeting content to an audience of up to 10,000. Live events are for one-to-many communications where the host of the event is leading the interactions and audience participation is primarily to view the content shared by host.
The attendees can watch the live or recorded event inTeams, and/or Stream, and can interact with the presenters using moderated Q & A.
