All Swinerton admin employees have licenses to Microsoft Teams via Office 365 (your Office applications accessible via a web browser).  Staff are strongly encouraged to install the computer desktop application from Software Center for the full benefits and functions of Microsoft Teams Live Events.

Software Center: Go to your computer's start button, just start typing "software center," choose the Software Center app, and in the Applications tab, install Teams.

An organizer of a Microsoft Teams Live Event schedules it and ensures the event is set-up with the right permissions for attendees and the event group (producer and presenters) who will manage the event.  The organizer:

• Creates the live event.
• Sets attendee permissions.
• Selects production method.
• Configures event options (for example, the moderated Q&A).
• Invites attendees.
• Selects event group members.
• Manages reports generated after the event is over.
