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
JohnMcRI've not found a technical way of doing this. We work around it by careful timing, training the presenters about the software limitations and what they need to do and using the host of the event to fill time between individual presenters.
i.e. Appearing on screen (background activity)
Host introduces Presenter 1 (producer requests content from Presenter 1, Presenter 1 shares screen, Producer queues content)
Presenter 1 presents
Host recaps Presentation 1, introduces Presenter 2 ((producer requests content from Presenter 2, Presenter 2 shares screen, Producer queues content)
Presenter 2 presents
etc.
For presenters who really can't get this, someone else hosts their deck of slides and they have to say "next slide please"

Hi you can have multiple presenters on screen at once and make it much easier to have interactive panels and presentations. If you want to learn more and see this working please contact me.
We producer for corporates this functionality using MS teams.
See example MS Teams event with a discussion panel here on my linkedin

We can also provide remote clickers over the internet to presenters. So you don't have to rely on presenters saying Next Slide....

AECAST can I just check was the multiple presenter view you are showing done in Microsoft Teams Live?
- Hi amangeles
With teams and teams live we make use of the NDI output feature. This sends 9 seperate peoples camera outputs per teams connection in a meeting. The NDI outputs is then received by the studio software we use call VMIX. See vmix. Com. With the studio software you can then arrange the video outputs from teams seperately in various screen setups for panel discussion etc and also manipulate those on screen with ppt presenting or switching people in and out to appear on screen at a tou h of a button as well as play videos direct into teams with great sound.
To sending back from the studio software is simply using the studio output video send as your webcam. In Teams standard you can spotlight this or teams live set as the main video output. In both scenarios teams manages the sound. The studio software also records the full output in higher quality for sharing editing.
Hope this helps any questions please ask and let me. Know if you like a demo I can show you over a Teams meeting
