Teams Live Events - any changes since Nov 2020 that impact Cross-Tenant permissions for Live Events?
I've not heard of any change, but in my experience the only way currently to make the experience at all reliable is to add presenters to a team in your tenant as a guest. Anything else relies on a match happening between their login account and what you invite, highly unpredictable.
The good news is the announcement in Message Center that anonymous guests will be available for Live Meetings at some point in the near future. As a producer you can just admit anyone from the lobby like a regular Teams Meeting.
- Thanks Steven, yes, the guests I had added to Teams Live Events as Producers and Presenters are already added to a host tenant's Team - I have always done this, and did so for the testing above - the issue is that something seems to have changed which makes their ability to join unreliable.
juzzle5 Are they switching to your tenant before joining, and did you invite them as their (Guest) account? This is all important so Teams recognises them as the entitled user.
I've not tried a Business Account before, maybe something interferes as they don't have entitlement to use Live Events. I've only ever tried externals with MSA or an E account. I've also given people E accounts in a free trial tenant then invited them as guests from there.
- Yes, I am ensuring that they switch organisations before joining the Live Event, I have confirmed they have accepted the invite to the team, and I have verified they can see the team in their app. But so far, I've clarified that:
365 Enterprise licencees can partipcate as Presenters
365 Business licencees CAN NOT partipcate as Presenters
Team Free licencees can partipcate as Presenters
