Live events vs gotowebinar

[Bartolomo]

Hi, my company is considering moving from GoToWebinar to Live events but when comparing it looks like live events are missing some important features, like:

• in event file sharing
• quick polling
• pre-event info display
• attendee report

Does anyone have information on if and when these features could be coming or are there other ways to reach the same functionality?

@Bartolomo Hi there- this is a great tutorial on how to create a pre-event info display or Lobby display:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVEzXqiW7_k&feature=youtu.be

Here is the uservoice to vote for polling in a live event:  https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/37949887-add-live-voting-and-p...

Our org uses a form that we post with a short link in a slide - the audience has to use the shortlink to open the poll on their own, but it does well as a workaround and most people do participate even though it is an extra step.

@Ethan Stern that's perfect, many thanks.  I've added my vote to the uservoice.

So how do you share the slides?  Pre-meeting via the meeting request or do you have another trick to share in-meeting?

@Bartolomo you're very welcome!  I just share content as a presenter in the live event and put up a slide with instructions on how to access the poll. So, just presenting in the live event -
