Teams Town Hall Q&A with Large in person audiences
Is anyone else struggling to offer q&a for large broadcasts with lots of rooms dialling with in-person large audiences? Currently, for anyone in large groups watching a Town Hall together in a large room, people need to join the Town Hall themselves on their phone. This can cause disturbances as their speaker may be on, and then it does take quite a few screen swipes to get to the q&a section. This is also true for any presenters on a stage who need to view a question/moderate. Our current solution is to use slido as it provides a nice qr code that takes people straight to the section they can ask a question, with no risk of disturbance, as well as a good login method for on stage moderation for an MC. Other times we just use a separate teams chat and an ipad. I would love to be able to use the native Q&A function, especially because it locks peoples teams identity to the question. I.e no anonymous. It would be amazing if their was a separate link/qr code people could scan/follow to view just the Q&A function, or chat function. Without showing the town hall output.
Teams Live-Event with RTMP ingest
Dear all, I have a couple of questions regarding the new Teams Live-Events with RTMP ingest (using an external encoder). So far I´ve been using MS Stream live-events for professional livestreams with an external encoder and it worked great. But since the Stream live-events will be shut down at some point this year, I have to make the switch to the Teams live-events (with RTMP ingest). Is there an option to disable all automatic audio enhancement functions (like noise reduction, etc.)? If I stream music/spoken language to the live-event it doesn´t sound as good as with the Microsoft Stream live-events. Do teams live-events with RTMP ingest offer a buffer in case one of the viewers has an internet problems? Because to me it seems like the RTMP In live-events work rather like a general Teams Video-Call, so that in case of internet problems the audio will still be audible and the image will freeze. Usually streaming platforms have a buffer that will be filled to prevent audio-video dropouts. How do live-events in MS Teams in general differ from the live-events in MS Stream? Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards.Teams Live Event/Hybrid Event - Program Video
Hello, We have been doing Live Events regularly for the last 2 years but with people returning to to workplace a need has arisen for "Hybrid" events where we would still be sending a Live Event out but there will also be people in a large meeting room (where most of the presenters will be going live from) - What I am looking for is a way to have the "program" video on screens within the room without the 30 second delay of the "Attendee View" - I can put a Producer view on the screen. but I would much prefer to be able to pull out a "live" program view.... Any thoughts?
Live Event Guest user add new background
Hi, A user has been added as a guest to our tenant, so that they can present in our Teams Live Event. All of this has been set up correctly, the user can enter as a presenter and everything is as expected. However, the user needs to add their own background to their video feed, to keep everyone's backgrounds consistent. We have instructions on how to do this, by clicking the "Add new" button at the top of the background settings menu. They can access the background settings menu, however there is no "add new" button. This works on my own account and is available for us. I tested it with another guest account and again there is no "add new" button. I assume this is something to do with being a guest user. Is there a way to resolve this for Live Events, as the user needs this option. ThanksOffice 365 Groups Issue with Live Event
We are seeing an issue when trying to add an Office 365 group when scheduling a Live Event. This issue is that no Office 365 Group is showing when using the People & Group option to send out the Live Event invite. What is odd is that when you create a Teams meeting
Teams Live event - Easy External presenters
Hi, Is this now a thing: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/allow-anonymous-presenters-in-a-live-meeting-af38c662-e9b3-4b7c-bfee-073c4a6147a3 I've lost hours of my life trying to get external presenters in to our Teams Live events. Those who don't have at least a free account need to set one up and accept the invitation to our tenancy as a guest. Those who already use Teams seem still to need to accept an invitation into our tenancy as a guest. The former then gets wrapped up in a world of authentication pain while the latter seem unable to either sign out of teams in order to sign back in using our invitation, or accept into a 2nd tenancy in Teams to allow them access. All of these then still hit a wall when they have to accept our terms and conditions for use on Teams. Am I missing the easy, straightforward path to getting external presenters into our live events? The above link suggests changes coming in May however we're now in May and I've seen no change in the Teams Live event booking page. Please help!
