To allow external users who do not have guest accounts to access live events in Microsoft Teams, you need to configure the External Access Org-wide settings.

External Access allows people outside your organization to participate in Teams meetings, chats, and calls. By default, external access is turned off in Microsoft Teams. When you turn it on, you can specify which domains to allow or block external access for.

To configure External Access Org-wide settings, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Teams admin center using an admin account.

  2. In the left-hand menu, click on "Org-wide settings" and then select "External access."

  3. In the External access settings page, toggle on the "External access" switch to turn on external access for your organization.

  4. Under the "Domains" section, you can specify which domains to allow or block external access for. You can also choose to allow or block individual email addresses or domains.

  5. Under the "Anonymous join" section, select "On" to allow external users to join Teams meetings anonymously, or "Off" to require them to have a Microsoft account or a guest account.

  6. Click "Save" to save your changes.

After you have configured External Access Org-wide settings, external users who do not have guest accounts should be able to access the live events in Microsoft Teams.
