Live Teams Events external participants
Hi everyone,
I am wanting to use Teams for a live event with all attendees joining externally as guests/anonymously. Are there limitations to how many people can join a teams event this way?
I used Skype last week and if people didn't have a Skype account it was limited to 25 guest participants. So I need to know if there is a similar restriction for Teams before i go ahead with it
Thanks
Hi, up to 10,000 people can join a Teams live event. They will be viewers only, and can participate in live Q&A.
Check out the following for more information;
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/what-are-teams-live-events
And my own blog post on Teams Live meeting policies;

Hope this helps.
The current limits are listed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/limits-specifications-teams#teams-live-events
There's no limit specific to the number of external participants afaik.
