Live Events Quick Start Option Missing
I am trying to test using Live Events in Teams for some training for a charity organisation. When setting up the event, I only get the option to use an encoder, no quick start option.
I have checked the policies on the Teams Admin portal and it seems to be correct so any ideas?
I am hoping someone can help as google has not on this occasion! I have an E1 license and the Teams App is ticked for my user so should work?

Thanks All for your input. My settings are all correct, it must just be because i am in the UK.
It would be good if Microsoft made this clearer, it is obvious none of us could really work this out!
Hopefully MS release it in the UK soon.
SBaker1993 it is clearly stated in the official document ...
Just resurrecting this thread as it seems the most appropriate one.
Is it still the case that the UK is not supported? I'm looking at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/plan-for-teams-live-events#regional-availability and it says United Kingdom is on the "Data location for these countries/regions (supported)" list, but it's not obvious to me what this means in practice.
We have a user who is on an Office 365 E1 licence, and the policies are all in line with what is required, but there is no option at all to create a Live Event from within Teams, only a regular Meeting. The person has been on this licence for over 24 hours so I don't believe it is an issue of licence activation delay, or anything like that.
How can I confirm that the "data location" is in the UK?
- E1 does not include creating live events from the teams app! You can create one from Stream itself!
See this documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/sv-se/stream/license-overview
Hope that answers your question!Thanks, i looked everywhere and nowhere on the instructions for Teams says this, typical MS!
I think streams requires an encoder so you cannot easily use it which is a shame.
I am guessing there is no add on for E1 licenses to run events through teams either.
- Hmm, this says something else!
Do you have a mailbox hosted online?
This is required to create or schedule a live event
