How do I present content for a Microsoft Live Teams Event?
Target Audience:
Faculty, staff and students can all be in the role of presenter of a Live Team Event.
Reason:
Individuals in a Microsoft Teams Live Event each have a role during the event. The roles are participant or attendee, sometimes referred to as a watcher, presenter, producer and/or organizer. The organizer sets the roles of producer and presenters before scheduling the event. Having a few practice sessions prior to the event with everyone producing or presenting is a must for a smooth running event. This article describes what a presenter will do during the event.

Topic
- The organizer or producer will need to give you the role of presenter prior to scheduling the event.
- You will need to use a computer, (not a tablet or mobile device) in order to present content.
- Days prior to the event, download the Microsoft Teams Desktop App.
- Prior to the scheduled time for the event, join a practice event as a presenter by clicking on the join link from the meeting request or calendar event.
- Check your microphone and camera for proper functionality using the settings cog in the top right.
- Leave your camera on and your microphone off while waiting to present.
- Wait for the producer to add you from the queue to live, turn your microphone on, silently count to 3, (audio joins before video).
- Present your content by sharing your screen, or add comments as your content is presented by someone else if that was decided prior to the event.
- If a Question and Answer session is available for the event, presenters also have the ability to view, and answer questions submitted by participants.
- Presenters and producers also have a chat feature that is viewable only to those with the role of producer or presenter to assist with communicating throughout the event without the participants.
