Microsoft Live Events

Hi ThessMarcelo68 ,

interesting questions where I do not have an answer for everyone. I start like this:

1. and 2.: A good reading point for you is this docs page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/live-event-m365

The advantage of using Teams as Live Event host is the "Teams client as video producer". You have multiple producers you can switch between and the interface is more like a video production (the Stream Live Event Interface is easyier and sufficiant, when only one is presenting). More infos about the Teams client as video producer here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/produce-a-live-event-using-teams-591bd694-121d-405c-b26d-730315e45a22

3.: Yes, up to 10.000 is currently the limit of avtive concurrent users (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/live-event-overview). Maybe this is in special cases by Microsoft enlargeable? I do not know.

4.: eCDN partner are optional and not required. But they increase the quality of delivering the video. 

5.: I use OBS and I heard and saw Switcher Studio and Wirecast S. Did not test the others.

6.: a) Producing with Teams you have an Q&A panel (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/produce-a-live-event-using-teams-591bd694-121d-405c-b26d-730315e45a22)

b) ...

c) See last two point in: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/faq#live-event-faq

d) ...

e) ... (with Microsoft Forms following the event)

f) Not during Live Event. When the Live Event is stored, you can like the video.

g) Depends on the encoder delivering the video. With OBS you can use Green Screen (and others).

7.) Without eCDN partner no statistics.

That is my current knowledge. I hope it helps you, Thess!
