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

  1. The organizer or producer will need to give you the role of presenter prior to scheduling the event.
  2. You will need to use a computer, (not a tablet or mobile device) in order to present content.
  3. Days prior to the event, download the Microsoft Teams Desktop App.
  4. 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.
  5. Check your microphone and camera for proper functionality using the settings cog in the top right.
  6. Leave your camera on and your microphone off while waiting to present. 
  7. Wait for the producer to add you from the queue to live, turn your microphone on, silently count to 3, (audio joins before video).
  8. 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.
  9. If a Question and Answer session is available for the event, presenters also have the ability to view, and answer questions submitted by participants.
  10. 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.
