1. Introduction

Being able to connect to a large online audience is key in today's marketing game Hosting live events is a great way to disseminate information to a wider audience or promote products and services, If Live Events are not available on Microsoft Teams, in this guide you'll learn how to do it.

2. How to Fix

Set up the Live Events PolicyThe audience for your Live Events needs to be set from the Admin Center, otherwise, common users will only be able to choose from a restricted pool of options.

Thus, follows these steps to enable the public viewing of Live Events:

1. Go to the Microsoft Teams & Skype for Business Admin Center
   
   
2. Select Meetings from the left menu
   
   
3. Choose Live Event Policies
   
   
4. Select Atendee Visibility Mode
   
   
5. Choose Everyone

By enabling this feature, your Live Events will be available to the general public, meaning even users that aren’t part of your network.

All they need to do is join the live event, and then the program will try launching Teams first if they already have it installed. If they don’t, they’ll have the option to join online and then either to sign in or join anonymously.

One thing you need to remember is that, for those that join anonymously, their video feed fills the entire screen, and they won’t see the Teams navigation bar on the left.

Once these steps have been followed, any user that is part of your network and has all the appropriate rights will be able to broadcast Live Events to the general public.
