    rahul2275  Here are some of the suggestions for the questions you asked maybe these are not what you are looking for but at least this is what is an option for you as of today using Microsoft Teams Live Events.

     

    you can do Live events through Teams, Yammer, or Stream!

     

    1 - Teams Live Event does give you the option to select the public option which is for external users though they still have to log in to their Teams if that is free or paid versions.

     

    2 - As they log in to their Teams after the live event you will get the log details with a full report for participants and the recording etc.

     

    3 - again the same log/report after the live event is ended could be used for and even you could see the number of participants joined the live session but just the number no more details. there could be an alternative to create a form or PowerApps that is being shared with everyone as soon as they fill their details like name, number, location, etc. they should see the link as part of the thank you note for that form to join the Teams Live event but if not fill the form they will not see it.

     

    4 - Teams currently does not have that option to change the view from one video to more but could be tried out using different external encoders.

     

    here is how you can use external encoders
