Teams Live Events: Adding shared screen content to queue not possible?
Why has this issue not been addressed? This is a glaring issue. Producers have no control of shared content. A Presenter can just crash the live presentation, unknowingly.
Loren We noticed the same problem today while doing a test run for a webinar tomorrow! Last week, we held a Teams Live Event where we had three presenters plus myself as a producer, and the presenters were all able to share presentations into the share tray at the bottom of the screen, where I could pick them and insert them into the live event queue.
Today, however, the only option the presenters had was to share their screen - like in a regular Teams meeting - which overrides any content that the producer has set up. Something has obviously changed within the past six days, since last Tuesday everything worked fine. If anyone has any idea what has happened, please let me know! Our next event is coming up in 24 hours and now it turns out that we apparently can't run it like the previous ones.
Same issue for me? Have you discovered a resolution without adding other software?
- That is how it’s always worked. You must not have had the event live or done it simultaneously during testing cause you have only ever been able to share one content at a time.
ChrisWebbTech No, we were definitely live and have the participants and recording to prove it. We tested this out in multiple test runs for three days before the first event and every time, when presenters shared their materials they showed up in my share tray, where I was able to queue them up for the stream e.g. while the previous person was talking. Then, on Monday, presenters only had the option to share directly into the stream, overriding what I had put into the queue.
- This has been happening to us too. We've done 3 test runs now and nothing has changed. We did a live meeting in October and it worked fine. I'm desperate to find a solution.
