Microsoft Teams API for live events

rickeylohia you can create Live Events via the /v1.0/me/onlineMeetings, simply add 

"isBroadcast": true

 to the body. 

You can add producers for the event:

"participants": {
        "producers": [
            {
                "upn": "someuser@somedomain.com"
            }
        ]
    }

Note: this is available in v1.0 (so GA) but it is not in the documentation. It used to be in the beta documentation but I can't find it there anymore either. So I'm not sure just how unsafe it is to use this in a production environment.

Trinetra-MSFT , would you care to comment on this? Also, you were referring to a solution for creating online meetings (MeetNow) with application permissions. However, I can't find that in the documentation either. Could you give more information?

rickeylohia , Currently there is no API to set up live event in teams. Please look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-live-events/set-up-for-teams-live-events. However MeetNow is done in Graph API using application permissions. So a bot, application or a Flow / Logic Apps can create a Teams meeting. No, it is not a scheduled one but it is available instantly.

Request Body:

{
  "meetingType": "meetNow",
  "participants": {
    "organizer": {
      "identity": {
        "user": {
          "id": "[myUserId-Guid]"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "subject": "MeetNow from Graph API"
}

That’s the call body. Simple, effiecient. That could be easily done in many applications. Then execute the call

POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/app/onlineMeetings

From the response you can isolate easily the most important information

• joinURL

Send that joinURl into participants you want to add into a meeting. But there is more in that meeting.
