Teams Live Event multiple presenters
rach80 Well that was fun trying to simulate a live event with myself as producer and two demo accounts as presenters all from one machine 🙂
So I have come to the conclusion that the closest you could get to what you are after at present and would require all presenters to have a working web cam and video feed turned on. Is to Queue a presenter, send to live, queue content, with or without a video feed using the toggle, send to live and that would keep a continuous feed going.
To get the more preferable scenario, I have found the following user voice that I think fits the bill and has the most votes, so I would spread the word and get voting at the following: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38711833-queue-content-next-to-presenters
It might also be worth keeping an eye on the Road Map at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap?rtc=1&filters=Microsoft%20Teams as sometimes Microsoft are already in the process of working on a desired feature, it is just a question of time.
Thanks
HenryPhillipsNimbitech thanks for your reply. I want each presenter to be able to control progression of their own presentation so it makes sense that they share it. I just wanted to be able to queue their presentation so I could bring it up for them when they are ready and have introduced themselves via video, therefore saving them stopping their flow and sharing the screen whilst their video is live.
The problem seems to be that I can only have one presenter's screen as my content. As soon as another presenter shares it then takes over any presentation that's currently live.
Just seems strange to me? I guess the simple version of my question is how do I as producer see more than one presenter's content?
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I'm almost sure, that earlier i could ask to all my presenters to start sharing their screen (and so send one in live and having the others in the queue) and this is not possible anymore.
can someone who tested the live event at the beginning of the year can confirm that ?
because right now, as you say : sharing the screen as a presenter directly replace the already in live screen, it can be really dangerous to do that...
and also, what is the purpose of the Procuder now ? he can just decide which camera is in live... not the presentation...so he is almost useless...
i'm so convinced that it was not like this before and that the things changed...
but i have to find someone who can confirm that.
before : Presentation and cameras in queue possible
now : only cameras in queue possible.
thanks.
Darkira69Yes, I agree with your observation.
Earlier in the year (June?) all presenters could share their screen so that I as the producer I could send one live and place another in the queue, then send it live when the first presenter was finished. As of October this is not possible anymore. I also found that presenters now have ability to send their presentation live rather than simply sharing. The benefit of a producer role seems to be diminished.
I Initially has similar confusions but now it came clear after conducting several events.
To make it clear;
a. There is only one queue for the presentation ( content) for the whole meeting.
b. Once someone ( it can be any producer or any presenter in the meeting) starts sharing his/her screen or application, it is visible for any producer to select.
c. Once the producer select a layout that contain the "content" ( this can be either full-screen content OR dual-layout with one presenter video + content side-by side by side) and then producer sent it LIVE.
d. Once the content is up in the LIVE, any OTHER producer OR presenter can start sharing his content, then that LIVE contend will TAKE OVER immediately without any intervention for producer.
Hope this is clear...
I can confirm in my testing yesterday that you can't have multiple content items from different producers showing at one time. I did the same thing you did. use the single window to live, then go back and choose the dual pane, grab that live presenters shared content and send that live.
i agree that i thought you could have more than one presenters content visible in the queue area along with the video feeds. this process is really cumbersome and not intuitive at all.
