Hi @HMI Marketing Team ,

To use Microsoft Teams, you need a Microsoft 365 account with the appropriate Microsoft 365 license plan, below you'll find the requirements to create Teams live events:

Who can create live events

To be able to create a live event, a person needs to have the following things. Your IT admin can provide more information.

• A Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, or E5 license or a Office 365 A3 or A5 license.
• Permission to create live events in Microsoft Teams admin center.
• Permission to create live events in Microsoft Stream (for events produced using an external broadcasting app or device).
• Full team membership in the org (can’t be a guest or from another org).
• Private meeting scheduling, screensharing, and IP video sharing, turned on in Team meeting policy.

@HMI Marketing Team ,

Yes, presenter and producer of live event must sign in with account.

For the attendees, they can join live event without sign-in information if the live event is public.
