Public Teams Live Event prevents MSFT accounts from joining

- Hi grommit,
Have raised a uservoice for you here
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/43875447-support-msa-accounts-in-public-live-event
Would recommend to vote up to push it up the agenda. Whilst uservoice will end soon these will be moved to a new system at some point so it's important to make sure it's on there for Microsoft line of sight. I would mention it on AMA's here in the Teams community and I will also pass it along to the product and engineering team later this week.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
Thanks grommit
ChristianJBergstrom and I are definitely with you on this. We love the feedback and we can be a conduit for it to push to the product and engineering teams because as MVP's we have the access. I think your points are valid. I think what you experienced is going to be what many others experience and this is going to result in negative feedback and a negative perception of the product. I agree with you that Teams is really amazing and that it was better than just lock stock buying slack, but also there are things we all want to see and we ourselves are vocal and call it out when we see it. Whilst we cannot influence a change insofar we are not Microsoft employees we can put this in front of the right people. We will do. I hope personally, and I know Christan does, that this is resolved. The workaround works, but is it the experience we want to see. Absolutely not.
Best, Chris
ChrisHoardMVP I had to try it. I created a brand new W10 profile with a brand new personal MS account (@outlook.com). Signed in to Teams on the web and then downloaded the desktop app and signed in there too. From my test tenant I sent a public live event link to this new account using a simple email. Clicked on the link and got redirected to the prompt for "Sign in" and "Join anonymously". The latter worked here as well..
