Thank you SO much Microsoft. This only took like a year to roll out and it still is clunky. Just use Zoom. You just re-join the meeting if you leave. Great video John, Teams Live Events is just frustrating.

@CollabMoore Is this also a good way to test of a planned event and all the set options work ahead of the event?

I always look forward to Teams Tips Tuesdays. Hopefully with many new features hitting recently(content camera, Q&A in webinars, word cloud polls, adding organizers for breakout rooms, etc), these will be coming out more often.

Hi John, I have the imprint teams is using an audio noise reduction filter when using obs as an external device. This this the case or am I missing something?

[beardy_scot]

Great explanation as always from John, even if the process isn't as simple as just a click of a button. Also a strong argument to use webinars rather than Teams Live where possible - my org is only 450 staff, with 150-200 joining staff briefings live - particularly now that moderated Q&A is available in meetings 👍

great video, not looking forward to use Live event.

Let's face it, this accidental meeting's end is related to a bad user interface design Microsoft implemented here, so I hope they fix it soon simply by adding a confirmation/warning message (preferably as red, as the End button itself) before the actual meeting end is executed.
