This is not unlike an education scenario where everyone should be able to see the teacher and not be distracted by the “Brady Bunch” grid showing the teacher and the other participants at the same time. The Meetup presented one particular challenge.įor some of the sessions we required a “talking head” be the sole image served to the attendees. My partner Rocky had been experimenting with Open Broadcaster Software (aka OBS Studio) of late, and we thought the Meetup might be a good opportunity to see if we could add some more of a “pro” feel to the Meetup without compromising its intimacy, and address some other issues. This gave our participants the ability to interact more naturally with the presenters, but perhaps at the expense of some control of the Meetup. Sydney UC is a more interactive and collaborative environment, so we opted to run the event in the tenant. The event is streamed via an Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN), and as such there’s a lag between your presentation and its reception that prevents real-time interaction with participants. Microsoft Teams Live Events are ideal for larger “town hall” style one-to-many meetings, more like a city council meeting or other “broadcast” event. You have two options for a Teams Meeting – a normal “in-tenant” meeting, or a Live Event. Naturally it was going to be over Microsoft Teams. We normally run these at a conferencing centre in the middle of the Sydney CBD, but circumstances dictated this one be held virtually. I recently co-hosted the May “Sydney UC” Meetup with fellow MVP Craig Chiffers.
