Microsoft 365 live event streaming limits temporarily increased to 20,000 participants

Microsoft allows people and organizations to live stream events through several platforms, including Teams, Yammer, or Stream. Microsoft increased the participant limits for these types of streams earlier this twelvemonth and has extended that increment further. The extended participant limits for Microsoft 365 live events last until June thirty, 2022. Microsoft sent out word of the extension through Microsoft 365 Admin eye, which was spotted showtime by OnMSFT. In addition to increasing the number of participants allowed, Microsoft extended how long streams tin be.

With the increased participant limits, live events on Teams, Stream, and Yammer can take upwardly to 20,000 attendees. Tenants tin have 50 events at a time, and events can last up to xvi hours.

With people non being able to attend live events, streaming to large audiences has become more of import. To help run into this demand, Microsoft has increased and extended its participant limits earlier. Microsoft increased the Teams live events limit to 20,000 before this year, and increased the limit for Teams live streams to assistance schools broadcast graduation ceremonies.

In order to host events with more 10,000 participants, a host needs to take an Advanced Communications license. That aforementioned license is needed to host events longer than 4 hours after June thirty, 2022.

The increased limits are outlined by Microsoft on a techcommunity resources page. Microsoft also has a folio that breaks down how to apply Microsoft Teams live events.
