Hi,

When you scheduled your Live Event you got an option to set permissions. The default permission is Org-wide and that require that viewers can sign-in to your Teams organisation. You can also select Public and with that permission viewers will not be required to sign-in. Do you know how your meeting permissions where set?

EmmaLL1990 So that will require them to sign in to get permission to view. Could that been the problem, that they were not signed in?

  LinusCansby The attendees had to sign in to get to the event, and then got a message to say they did not have permission to join.

    EmmaLL1990 People and Groups then requires you to specify a list of all the people that will be attending your Live Event, I would guess that you didn't include any or all?
    
    I nearly always use the Org Wide option, then only send the link to people who will join, that way if you missed someone you can just send on the link.
