There are tools supporting Live Events that can create a peer-to-peer network between client computers, so that they share the LE stream instead.

Users being kicked out from regular Teams meeting when joining a Live Event, is that on the same computer? Than it is expected since both wants to use your Teams application, one option is then to view the Live Event in a web browser.
