Live Events Presenter sees Producers camera feed

Just tried out Live events with me acting as Producer and my colleague as a presenter

 

Whenever my colleague shared his screen (from one monitor) he could also always see a live feed of my camera on his second monitor in the Teams window.

 

Is this normal?  Can it be turned off?   

 

It was confusing for him as it wasn't obvious his screen was being shared to the audience since he could still see my camera feed running

  • Sorry for late response here, but to my knowledge you can't change this. It's no different than when in a meeting you still see everyone in the meeting on your screen when sharing, specially in single monitor scenario, but you usually minimize the Teams client to do your demo so you don't notice.

    In live event, it's similar as anyone on producer / presenter side, can see the feeds coming in.

      Thanks Chris, it's a shame it can't be turned off as the 3 people I've seen trying to use it so far (including me) have been confused by this despite being regular normal Teams meeting users.
  • ChrisWebbTech may be good here for this one - he's done some great demos on live events in the past and may know the reason for this. I would like to know too.

    Best, Chris
