Use PowerShell to set live events policies in Microsoft Teams

You can use the following Windows PowerShell cmdlets to set and assign policy settings for live events in Teams:

• Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy
• Set-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy
• New-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy

The following sections provide user scenarios for various PowerShell commands used to manage events produced in Teams:

1. If the user is assigned the global policy, run the following script and verify that the -AllowBroadcastScheduling parameter is set to True:

   Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy -identity Global
   

2. Next, to assign the user to the global policy, run the following script:

   Grant-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastPolicy -Identity {user} -PolicyName $null -Verbose
   

You want all users in your organization to be able to schedule live events

If users are assigned the global policy, run and verify that -AllowBroadcastScheduling is set to True:
