Teams Live Event multiple presenters
- Jun 27, 2020
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
rach80 - We had the same issue and never were satisfied with any of the workarounds - so we made NextSlide. Its a platform agnostic app that lets presenters share control of an uploaded deck. http://www.nextslide.io. Hope this takes care of the problem for you!
