Yes, depending on the level of production you'd like. Teams is great for a quick event (without an external encoder) and includes moderated Q&A. Stream is the right choice if you don't need conversations and/or want to embed it in your SharePoint site. Yammer is the right move for richer conversations, broadcasting the event across your organization, and the video to live within a Yammer group before, during, and after. 

Here's how to organize a Live Event in Yammer.

We're also going to have a Live Events in Yammer playbook soon to help you get up and running with hosting these events. Stay tuned (and more to share at SharePoint Conference)!
