CAWJames Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Has this been extended again? It was 1st of Oct, but my IT manager says he can still access it? Thanks James
Tefters Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Just searched this up on Edugeek myself today for a giggle as its still working for me here so we are abusing it rotten however all the Microsoft documentation online says we shouldn't as its an A3 or A5 license and no sign from google of this being free and extended... Ho hum.
AJWhite1970 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 It's still working with A1 but no-one knows for how much longer. Just bought 3 x A3's yesterday which I'll add one to our Producer account just to be sure. I did email M$ direct to ask but all I got back was a cut and paste saying A3/5 for live events

I did email M$ direct to ask but all I got back was a cut and paste saying A3/5 for live events Did the same email to them months ago and got the same response so its their issue not ours! I will just keep using it until it stops then just buy an A3 license at a bank breaking fiver a month
AJWhite1970 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Fiver a month? Pugh quoted me £21.45 per account per year..... Microsoft Office 365 EDU A3 Open Faculty OVS-ES ShrdSvr ALNG SubsVL OLV F 12mth Acdmc AP AddOn toOpp
Tefters Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Awwww your buying on OVS for the year, didn't think of that. Was just going on the office 365 portal price.
CAWJames Posted December 8, 2020 Author Posted December 8, 2020 Anyone have any updates on this? Is it still available? Thanks James
benIT Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Teams Live event works for us but the 3rd party encoder element doesn’t (that’s greyed out). I spoke to Microsoft today and they said the option could drop off at any point. We also got A3 for £13 per year.
Steve21 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Anyone have any updates on this? Is it still available? Thanks James Just on a side note as was reading about another change but noticed this on the admin panel: MC225752, Stay Informed, Published date: 3 Nov 2020 Updated December 29, 2020: We have updated the post to reflect that these extensions will be in effect until June 30, 2021. Note: This change does not apply to customers with A1 plans. Those plans will no longer have access to Live Events beginning January 1, 2021 as previously communicated. We are extending the temporary limit increase for live events in Teams, Stream and Yammer. Steve 1
mullet_man Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 So A1 customers will lose Live Events ability? It was extended to the end of the year and we have used it many times so I think we will be buying at least one A3 license as I suspect we will do more events in 2021. Thanks for the heads up as I missed that.
CAWJames Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 Strange, we are A1 Plus, so not sure if we are banded in or not, we still have access to Live Events...
mullet_man Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I've just checked as I think our head is planning a Q&A with parents before we return next (if we do) and we do still have the ability to create a Live Event. Not sure what to do? Get an A3 purchased just incase we lose the ability soon?
AJWhite1970 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Personally I went and got 3 A3 licenses as a fail-safe as it just wasn't worth the risk of it not working (you only need an A3 license for the Live Events Producer). For approx £25 each it was a no-brainer
Tefters Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Owwww looks like i've finally lost the Live Event option now within Teams... Anyone else confirm? Wonder if this is intentional or a side affect of the poop storm yesterday. Edited January 19, 2021 by Tefters
CAWJames Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 Ours is still there, but anecdotal says tenants are dropping off fast We have found that the Advanced Communications for Faculty license will give us Live Events and only for a couple of quid a month per person so around £22 a year Just need one for each Presenter/Producer 1

So dont need an A3 license? Will have a ganders. EDIT: Cant find this advanced communicationd license... However the A3 is less than £3 a pop. Edited January 19, 2021 by Tefters
CAWJames Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 I could be very wrong on that one though, can't find where I got the heads up on it now... I can't test until live events actually goes for us! This might just add on the bigger live events(up to 20,000) and not live events itself. There is a trial for it, so maybe someone who has lost LE, can get the trial, apply a licence, wait for x amount of MS time, then see if they get LE back
CAWJames Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 ah, there we go: https://blog.shi.com/software/microsoft-teams-gets-new-advanced-communications-add-on-what-education-customers-can-expect-from-this-new-license/
Tefters Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Hmmm... So purchased and assigned some A3 licensing over 2 hours ago and still no button showing after a sign-out and back in.
Tefters Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 can take 48 hours, as per MS time... Urgh really... I thought that was just policies and API changes. Would of thought licensing would of had a higher replication priority.
lmgtfy Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Ours is still there, but anecdotal says tenants are dropping off fast We have found that the Advanced Communications for Faculty license will give us Live Events and only for a couple of quid a month per person so around £22 a year Just need one for each Presenter/Producer Good Morning, we have applied the Advanced Communications for faculty to a number of staff but even after a week live events is not back. If I change the user to a A3 trial though it returns. Is there any documentation found that applying the Advanced Communications for faculty should return live events? Cheers
CAWJames Posted February 9, 2021 Author Posted February 9, 2021 Unfortunately we have found this doesn't add Live events it only enhances live events you get from A3, sorry for the misinformation, we were led to believe this was true
