This article is for faculty and staff who wish to host live events on Teams.

A Teams live event is a lightweight alternative to Stream, which requires external hardware or software encoder. In a Teams live event, users can create events and invite presenters/panelists to participate on their own devices.

## Inviting Attendees

As a live event organizer, one of your responsibilities is inviting attendees. When you schedule a live event in Teams, it only sends the calendar invite to event team members.

1. In Teams, select **Calendar** > Macro (inline-external-image)

 on the left side of the app.
2. Select the live event.
3. For events that will be produced in Teams, select **Get link** to copy the live event link so you can share it with attendees as you see fit; send it in a Teams channel, an email, a website like Sharepoint, or add it to a collaboration group. You can even send it in a calendar invitation from Outlook or another email program.

> 📝 Do not try to invite attendees via a Teams meeting. A new Teams meeting will have its own meeting link, which users might confuse with the live event attendee link.
