Webinar med teams live: can I invite external presenters even if they do not have account?
Hi,
Is it Teams Live Events you are testing or regular Teams meetings?
1) In a Live Events you have to be an internal user in the organization with license to be a presenter. In a Teams meeting you can invite "anonymous" users without an Microsoft 365 account that then joins via Teams web application and can be a presenter.
2) What is the problem you fix?
3) As a presenter if you want to see your notes during the presentation use two screens and presentation mode in PowerPoint. Share only the screen with the presentation and show the notes on the other screen, make sure that you have your video camera on the screen with the notes that you looks at the most of the time.

2) I mean that they only way I can get someone else to present is by letting them take over the controls. If they want to share something, I get a pop-up asking me if I want to give over the controls to that person.

If you want someone else to present something or share their screen they should be invited as a presenter. When it is their time you as a producer should switch to their video/screen.

it is Teams Live Events I am testing. But understand that even though this is a more expensive service, I do not have the option to invite an external presenter there? So strange! Because this is what we wanted to do with the service- organising a set of webinars with various external experts...

Sorry, external users can be presenters. This is new since a couple of weeks back. Just invite them to the meeting when you create it and select that they should be presenters.- Maaike_SmitMar 16, 2020Copper Contributor
