This document compares the features of Teams meetings and Teams Live Events. Teams meetings support up to 250 attendees and allow full audience participation through features like Yammer and Q&A. Live Events support up to 10,000 attendees, provide attendance reports, and allow producers to select which participants appear on screen. Live Events also have additional capabilities for screen sharing, recording, caching and geo-location not available in standard Teams meetings.
