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.

      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?

        DazOG UK is now supported for Live Events, and the recording stored in Azure Media Services will be in the UK region.
