How can I attend or watch a live event in Microsoft Teams?
Before watching a live event
- Make sure your browser allows third-party cookies.
- Ensure your browser supports Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Azure Media Player.
Join the live event
Open the live event link, to join the event.
- If you open the event from Teams, you'll join the event in Teams.
Note: Live events don't use your Microsoft Teams device preferences yet. Use your operating system sound setting to choose your speaker for the live event.
- If you open the event from Outlook, you can join from the web or open the event in Teams.
- If the live event hasn't started, you'll see the message "The live event has not yet started."
- For live events that are open to the public:
-If you're already signed in to Teams, you'll join as an authenticated user.
-If you're not signed into Teams, you'll join anonymously on the web.
- If you're attending the live event on the web, use a media-source extension(MSE)-enabled web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
Note: If the live event begins in low resolution, you might need to manually reset it to a higher resolution.
