@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.

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:
