Teams Live - Invite External Presenter with Gmail/Yahoo
Hi, While creating a MS Team Live session, I can invite Presenter (having Gmail/Yahoo id). They can also accept the Live invite. But they always join as ATTENDEE using the Presenter link sent to ...
- 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.
This is what we do for external presenters:
Create a Team in your tenant
Invite the external person to this Team so they become a guest in your tenant. Get them to chat in the Team at least once.
Invite them to the Live Event (their email should be in your address book now and have guest beside it)
Copy the presenter link and paste it in your Teams chat. Ask then to use that link. If they do, then they should have switched tenant to see chat and should join as presenter.
It's the only solution that has worked for us.
Also, make sure they use the desktop versions of course
