- This feature was really helpful and was working perfectly for the last couple of months, but on Friday the "Allow external presenters" button disappeared and now anonymous users can no longer present in Teams Live Events. They once more need to be added to our Teams organisation, to be a member of a Team and using Teams as part of our organisation. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? Is it a temporary glitch or has Microsoft turned this feature off?
Hi ganeshsanap
Are you able to share how the anonymous users are identified and enabled on the meeting? Some time ago, Live Event had two separate URLs for producers and attendees. Then some time ago, those URLs were merged and today both of those are using the same URL to join to meeting.
Is it so, that tomorrow we start to have two URLs again? One for producers and one for attendees.
- Goodness, I literally cannot wait for this. Going through the process and explaining setting up a Microsoft account with externals is not the best selling tool, as to why we are using the Live Event. This is great news. Cannot wait to see this go live so thanks ganeshsanap
