Guest Presenter in a Live event - licences
kev-event-tech Hello Kevin, I believe this page will shed some light at your questions.
'Who can attend, create, and schedule live events'

ChristianBergstrom that's it very useful although I do wonder if some of the informations is slightly out of date since the change to Microsoft 365. in that article is states
"Note
At this time there aren't any Microsoft 365 Small Business plans that can be used to create and hold Teams live events."
However on the plan and pricing comparison for Microsoft Teamhttps://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/compare-microsoft-teams-options#coreui-contentrichblock-7wgyjux
under the meetings and calling section there it says that "Host online and video conferencing meetings for up to 250 peoplehttps://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/compare-microsoft-teams-options#coreui-contentrichblock-7wgyjux and online events for up to 10,000" is available on the Business Basic licence.
this is what makes me believe it will allow a presenter to join a live event.
However a colleague spoke to support and sales and was told different and that it would only work with an enterprise licence

kev-event-tech Totally understand the confusion. I would say trust the MS docs and not the "sales pages". I just received the same info as your colleague (I had to check it myself as well!).
