user unable to select external encoder for live events
Running the cmdlets in the article did not unlock the section for external encoders I'm finding out. I've waited almost 24 hours and it's not seen in my Teams client as available yet. Is this another "by design" by MSFT I'm wondering?
I'm sure Microsoft will make it a simple checkbox in the admin console...in future... for now we have to use the powershell route...
Back to powershell...Did you get the output
"AllowBroadcastScheduling : True" for the command "Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy -identity Global"... This is key for enabling this option... and this needs to be done in the admin.teams.microsoft.com
1) Create Live Events Policy -> ensure it has "allow Scheduling" enabled
2) Check if user has this policy assigned
Let me know if it worked...

Thank you. This worked, I think there was some confusion on the Encoder box being grey but the support for the Ext. Encoder was indeed enabled. Thanks for the quick reply.
