Guest Presenter in Live Meetings
The App panel that they see is that in the Teams client? They have to get the Teams client up and running so then they need a guest account with access to a Team. Or they need to have an account that is a member of a Teams organisation, Teams free works.
To view a meeting you don't have to be signed in if you create a public event, Org-wide will require all attendees to sign in to your organisation.
Hi,
If you invite an external user with an guest account in your tenant, they have to switch organisation to your organisation in Teams first and then they can join the Live Event meeting as a presenter. When you invite a guest in will say (Guest) after the name.
If you invite an external user that don't have a guest account in your tenant, then they can join your Live Event meeting without switching tenant first.
- Thanks but these are just personal email accounts, they're not members of other Team tenants.
So they're both guest users but unless I add them to Team in my Tenant first, they can't just be a presenter in a Teams live meeting? Or even attend a meeting as an attendee. It's like they don't become a "proper" guest in Teams until they're added to a Team first?
I invited the user as a guest via Azure AD. They were able to register and see the app panel.
Created a test Live meeting as Org wide. They went to sign in but it kept bring them back to the sign in page.
Added their guest account to a test Team account. They could access the Team. Then they could sign into the Live meeting as a guest attende or presenter.
Am I missing something?I had the same issue, it doesn't seems to be documented anywhere, but you need to invite guest presenters from Teams, just as you did. Otherwise they are not added to your organization in teams. So even if they already had Teams client they won't be able to switch to your organizations.
Well at least inviting them from Teams is enough.
I suspect simply inviting them from Azure AD does not give them access to all resource that is required for Teams guest login.If they have a Teams account in another tenant you don't need to invite them as guests, then they can be external presenters. If they don't have an existing Teams account you have to invite them as guests.

Hi LinusCansby , thank you, that;s clarified things. I had hoped we could invite guest user who weren't a member of a Team or had to to create a free Teams account. I was hoping inviting them from Azure as guest would give them that access.
In any case I don't think Teams live events will work for our webinar/conference as it's lacking some other features but good to know what I need to do.
Thanks!
