Microsoft Teams - Live Events

Teams Meetings vs Live Events

Teams Meetings: Recommended for 250 or fewer attendees. Teams meetings can be scheduled from Outlook/Outlook Web App by any CSU faculty, staff or students who are using Office 365 for e-mail. Teams meetings can be attended by both CSU and guest users and also recorded when applicable.

Live Events: Intended for events with more than 250 attendees. The ability to schedule Live Events is available upon request. A requestor takes on the role of the Live Event organizer and is responsible for scheduling and facilitating Live Events. Organizing a Live event includes scheduling the event and managing producer and presenter roles. During a broadcast, Live Event content is subject to a 15-to-60 second delay between when information is presented and attendees see it.

Requesting Access to Schedule Live Events

  1. eNames of user(s) who will schedule and organize Live Events in Teams
