Microsoft Skype for Business - What is Skype Meeting Broadcast

Skype Meeting Broadcast is a feature of Skype for Business Online and Office 365 that enables you to schedule, produce, and broadcast meetings or events to online audiences up to 10,000 attendees. The Skype Meeting Broadcast portal is where you schedule a meeting of this size.

You schedule a meeting using the Skype Meeting Broadcast scheduling and management portal. You use the familiar meeting experience within Skype for Business to produce a professional, engaging event for your audience. Attendees can join and engage in the meeting from anywhere on any device.

 

Several roles are required for producing a Skype Meeting Broadcast. These include:

Organizer: Creates the meeting request and invites attendees. Reviews meeting reports.

Producer: Manages the meeting sources (live presentations, dial-in presentations, audio, video, and PowerPoint decks), records the event, and posts the recording to Office 365 Video.

Event Team Member: Participates in the meeting by presenting live or dialling in from a remote location.

Attendee: Watches the event online.
