I don't think you can, a requirement to present in a live even is to have your client inside the person hosting the meeting tenant via tenant switch. Similar to adding them to a team as a guest. So that must happen first, then if they can switch to your tenant, then join the event then they should be able to present, but switching tenants is required before joining.

Thank you ChrisWebbTech for your reply.

unable to make out using which option should i add their gmail/yahoo id as a guest.

Tenant switch i am aware and even i do the same for joining couple of other tenant MS Teams but how to do the same for the yahoo/gmail id.

Also another observation, if you have any idea.

I sent presenter invite to 2 external corporate (non MS teams) ids.

Example - mailto:user1@externalid.com, mailto:user2@externalid.com

both accepted the meeting invite to join as Presenter but only 1(user1@externalid.com) appeared in the Participant list in Live meeting Console But I was unable to invite the other id (mailto:user2@externalid.com) as Presenter. as this was not present in the Presenter list nor this user was able to join the Live call however the 1st one was able to join.

regards

If you have federationi setup with yahoo and google I don't know how to do it, but the other corp users must be a guest account in a team somewhere first, you can't just invite them to a live event. So you should have a "Live Events Team" or something invite them first, till they accept the invite and switch to the Team. Then you can remove them and they will be a guest in your tenant, but you have to get that link setup first so they have the tenant switch option. They switch to your tenant then join the meeting.

Yahoo and google, try same thing, I don't recall if it'll add a linked account and tenant switch or not.
