Guest Presenter in Live Meetings
The App panel that they see is that in the Teams client? They have to get the Teams client up and running so then they need a guest account with access to a Team. Or they need to have an account that is a member of a Teams organisation, Teams free works.
To view a meeting you don't have to be signed in if you create a public event, Org-wide will require all attendees to sign in to your organisation.
So they're both guest users but unless I add them to Team in my Tenant first, they can't just be a presenter in a Teams live meeting? Or even attend a meeting as an attendee. It's like they don't become a "proper" guest in Teams until they're added to a Team first?
I invited the user as a guest via Azure AD. They were able to register and see the app panel.
Created a test Live meeting as Org wide. They went to sign in but it kept bring them back to the sign in page.
Added their guest account to a test Team account. They could access the Team. Then they could sign into the Live meeting as a guest attende or presenter.
Am I missing something?

Hi LinusCansby , thank you, that;s clarified things. I had hoped we could invite guest user who weren't a member of a Team or had to to create a free Teams account. I was hoping inviting them from Azure as guest would give them that access.
In any case I don't think Teams live events will work for our webinar/conference as it's lacking some other features but good to know what I need to do.
Thanks!
One thing I didn't see in this thread is the 24-hour waiting period from the time a Guests email is added to a Live Event to the point when they can actually login from outside the organization (this is strictly for Live Events). We've been wrestling with Teams since the pandemic and we have found that the 24-hour period often works, regardless of whether they are registered in Azure Active Directory. We have also found that people whose emails are registered as a Microsoft Account (maybe through Xbox or whatever), have a much easier time getting into Live Events, even outside our org.
Tuk_Williams interesting you just shared your experience. I am actually working with MS Premier on this issue. The MS engineer claimed and confirmed from his side that an anonymously join should work for guest account as a presenter in a live event. Unfortunately it didn't work for me.
If you don't mind, could you share with a little detail? did you make it work for guests as presenter by anonymously joining or you had to create a guest in Azure AD in advance to sign in? or both options worked for you? (by the way, I waited over 24 hours for my guest. it still didn't work for me though)
thanks!
