Using Microsoft Teams instead of Zoom - is it straight-forward?

Hello gurus,

I'm sorry if this question has already been answered 1,745 times before.

I have Teams as part of an Office 365 subscription. I have watched many Zoom events during Covid and only a few streaming events using Microsoft Teams.

I am planning to commence presenting my own events online to groups of approximately 50 people or more who I would like to register via Eventbrite.

What is the most simple process for allowing people (who do not have a Microsoft Teams account) to register and connect via Teams.

Also, is it possible for them to automatically enter once they have the event number/password or am I required to allow them in one-by-one?

Thank you in advance,

As you can see, I'm very fresh to Teams.

    No worries, I just use a different license from yours.

    May I ask, are you trying to schedule a meeting in this case? Is that what you are trying to do?

    If the answer is yes then you can schedule a meeting by clicking the 'New Meeting' button. Please refer to this demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y44n1QHbdZk&...

    Thanks,

    Thanks for your prompt response Daniel. I was feeling good until I couldn't find the drop-down menu. I only have 'Meet Now' and 'New Meeting'. What is the workaround?

    Thanks,

    Graham

    Hi

    My name is Daniel. I am an Independent Advisor and consumer of Microsoft products, I will be more than happy to help you.

    "What is the most simple process for allowing people (who do not have a Microsoft Teams account) to register and connect via Teams?" You can add users as guests to Team, you can work collaboratively with them without needs for them sign up for MS account. Please visit these links:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-...

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams...

    "Also, is it possible for them to automatically enter once they have the event number/password or am I required to allow them in one-by-one?"  If users join a meeting as guests then they don't need to enter a password but the host needs to admit/approve the guests in order for them to be able to join the meeting. Users also can join the meeting from web browsers without needs to install the MS team desktop app.  However, if a user wan to join a team/channel as a guest then she/he needs to enter a password.  

    Video on how to join a team as a guest:
