Hughes818 Yes, we are working to integrate Town hall into Viva Engage.
REBJE thank you for the feedback, will pass it along.
DFarley2190 Not sure I follow the question here, you can invite attendees, they will receive the invite once you Publish the event. What do you mean with BCC?
Adam Wolff, bkl2023 we're working on bringing back content staging, and we're also working to bring PPT Live support next CY.
Brian Hoyt, rbell14 the rollout began on Monday for external presenter, it likely hasn't reached your tenant yet.
dhthompson61 That is an incorrect assumption. RTMP is indeed able to be used with 3P software such as vMix, OBS, etc - but the expectation here is that you will provide the captions as part of the feed (708 captions) using captioning devices or services such as EEG Falcon (this is how TLE works today). We're working to bring AI caption support to RTMP as well, which will expand the use cases.
dhthompson61 in regards to your other questions:
- Moderated Q&A is absolutely available, it is not enabled by default. The organizer needs to configure this option.
- I have never experience presenters (>90%) being attendees. First, are the presenters invited in the details tab; second, is the event published?; third, are these presenters being defined before the event begins?
- Presenters do not have the permissions of organizers. They do share many permissions (including the ability to bring videos on/off screen), but organizers can also end the event, change meeting options, moderate Q&A - which presenters cannot do.
- We're working to improve the sharing experience - today the client doesn't share back the window to you, just like the meetings experience.
- Content queuing is being worked on.
- Would love more specifics around documentation gaps. Additionally, Town hall has been incorporated into our Premium Playbooks -> https://aka.ms/TeamsPremiumDeployment
- Again, would love more details about what "doesn't match", and what you need for event statistics that are not currently available. Premium organizers will also get the Insights Portal as well.
- That is not an error (mic and camera disabled) - that is totally expected. That is the attendee experience for Town hall, just like it was for Live Events.
