Where is the problem in the error "Failure to execute Send Live command"?
I see others have discussed this error, but there seems yet to be an answer. Is this just Microsoft servers being overloaded? Or is there something on my end, as the producer, that is causing a p...

There have been multiple cases of this, such as here

These could be the ones you saw. Since multiple tenants are impacted, it would likely be a platform issue and not restricted to a singular tenant or geographical area. My recommendation is
1.) Raise the issue here
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public?category_id=205564
2.) Then raise a ticket to support referencing the bug you just raised
There is no article I can find which seems to identify a single cause or remedial action. My advice with live events is to a.) create a vanity link for the live event through something like rebrandly and use this in the link you send to attendees b.) arrive at the live event 30 minutes before to test and send live early to ensure it works. If it doesn't you have time to kill the live event, set up a second and direct the vanity URL to it. This usually ensures a successful result as it is extremely rare to find two live events having such issues
Hope that helps to answer your question
Best, Chris

Thanks very much for your clear work-around. It is appreciated.
However, it should be Microsoft who should be resolving this issue, which ultimately was a service disruption, and not you or me, the users.
