Live streaming allows organizers in your organization to expand their reach and provide a unique experience for meeting, webinar, and town hall attendees. As an admin, when you allow live streaming, your organizers can stream meetings and events to external endpoints by providing a Real-Time Messaging Protocol out (RTMP-Out) URL and key to the built-in Custom Streaming app in Teams.

To learn more about how your organizers can use RTMP to live stream meetings and events, see Broadcast audio and video from Teams with RTMP.

Note

Organizers can't stream live events.
