Microsoft Teams Live Events Support

Microsoft Teams live events help your organization reach a large online audience. Microsoft’s video conferencing technology is a great tool for companies seeking to sell, market, or communicate across the miles to a widespread group of attendees. Microsoft live stream events connect communities and build your brand. Today, these tools have replaced traditional conferences and meetings to create a powerful online option for organizations of all sizes and in all industries.
Microsoft Teams live events can be used for all-hands meetings or educational seminars, launching new products, or marketing existing services. Microsoft calls these tools “the next version of Skype,” and their stated goal is to replace the Skype Meeting Broadcast with Microsoft Teams Live Stream.

If your organization has decided to make use of an online community network, there is no better tool than a Microsoft live stream. But hosting and producing an online live event with these tools takes some finesse. The last thing you need is a failed event that creates a negative image for your brand. Most companies try and fail before succeeding; we want to eliminate the failures to help you create the best Microsoft live event possible, right out of the gate. Here are some tips for your Microsoft Teams live stream:

  Pick a Good Event Title

Create a concise but descriptive title for your event. This should be designed from the perspective of your target audience. Ask yourself what you’ll share that would entice your audience to sign up for the event. What will attract them? Once you have a short, punchy title, add a crisp abstract to rope them in and add value.

  Test Your Environment

A Microsoft live stream requires more than plug-and-play. Scheduling and production of your event require some technical savvy that your team may not have. Cross-platform integrations, PowerShell scripting, and API implementation are just a few of the tweaks you might need to make your event seamless.

  Consider Followup Content

It’s unlikely that your single Microsoft Teams live event will share all the content that interests your audience. Consider how you will mine that interest in ancillary content to keep your audience engaged long-term. The marketing plan for your Microsoft live event should incorporate other types of content that your audience can engage with long after the live stream is over. While everything in your video conference event should gear toward one call to action, you can add links to specialized materials that will leave your audience with plenty of ways to keep the conversation going.

  Reuse Your Event

Your Microsoft Teams live stream event can provide your organization with material that you could parse and leverage to build your brand. Recording the event and making it available as an on-demand video later on is just the beginning. You could also use the recorded Microsoft live stream event as part of tutorials or other educational or brand-building materials.

The sophistication and effectiveness of your Microsoft Teams live event will give you the ROI you’re seeking—but only if you have the right tools and partnerships in place to make every event your best event. How can you guarantee the success of your online event?

There are five key components to any Microsoft Teams live stream event. Onstream Media can help at every stage in the process:
