This article is for faculty and staff who wish to host live events on Teams.
A Teams live event is a lightweight alternative to Stream, which requires external hardware or software encoder. In a Teams live event, users can create events and invite presenters/panelists to participate on their own devices.
If you have a professional camera, sound setup, and encoder and would prefer to use Stream for your live event, documentation can be found here.
