    Hi joef1665

    Live events are one to many broadcasts. Like a TED Talk or a lecture: you can read more here

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/what-are-teams-live-events

    Only the presenter can speak, but attendees can Q&A.

    You would need A3/A5 licencing to set it up. Pros - no noise, no interruptions, can have large amounts of attendees. Downside, less interaction, harder to setup. In a classroom format I would go with better policing rather than a Live event - as a former secondary school teacher I would have an assistant/LSA to be muting anyone whilst I am talking. That's how Microsoft do it today whilst they develop the appropriate features

    Hope that answers your question

    Best, Chris

Hi DylanElemTeacher,

 

regarding my post about users to be able to enter again to an old meeting, I think that will be addressed by the Roadmap ID 66921.

"We are making changes to how Teams meetings and join links are accessible for meeting organizers who have had their scheduling capabilities revoked. Today, Teams meeting URLs can be accessed before, during, and after the scheduled meeting time, even if the scheduling permission for the meeting organizer has been revoked after the meeting was created.
To implement this change, we are adjusting the behavior of some settings in csTeamsMeetingPolicy to give additional control to the Tenant Admins. Tenant admins can now control and define the expiration of meetings created and scheduled by their users.
This change does not impact any scheduled meetings for organizers who continue to have the ability to schedule Teams meetings (as defined by Meeting Policy). You can find additional details on this change below.

 

What does it mean to expire meeting join coordinates?
Once a meeting has been expired, the meeting can no longer be joined, whether through the meeting join link and/or Audio Conferencing—attempting to join the meeting will result in a failure. Any related conversations, files, whiteboards related to the meeting are preserved and unaffected, and can still be accessed. This includes channel meetings (both scheduled and meet now), scheduled meetings, and private meet now meetings.
