For our commercial customers, this retirement is scheduled for\u00a0September 30, 2024\u00a0(government cloud dates will be released at a future date). Up until this date, Teams live events and the corresponding Microsoft Graph APIs will continue to work as they do today. However, after September 30, 2024,\u00a0all Teams live events services\u00a0will no longer function. This means users will\u00a0not be able to schedule or join any Teams live events\u00a0and\u00a0all\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/graph\/api\/application-post-onlinemeetings?view=graph-rest-1.0&amp;tabs=http#example-2-create-a-microsoft-teams-live-event-with-user-token\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Team live events Microsoft Graph API<\/a>\u00a0service calls will stop working\u00a0after\u00a0September 30, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Teams live events will be replaced by a new town hall feature that allows users to create live events built on the meeting infrastructure. This creates a more consistent experience between large scale streaming events (like Teams live events and town halls) and the Teams meetings experience that users are familiar with. Town hall will be backed by new\u00a0Microsoft Graph APIs\u00a0that we expect to release in\u00a0Spring\u00a02024.<\/p>\n<h2>Next steps<\/h2>\n<p>Until the replacement town hall APIs are available, you won\u2019t be able to convert your applications from Teams live events to town hall. We recommend the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Review your applications\u00a0and take inventory of any apps that might be calling Teams live events Microsoft Graph APIs.<\/li>\n<li>Start creating and testing town halls\u00a0through the Teams client. This will help you become familiar with the new streaming experience so that you can convert your Teams live events to town hall-powered events.<\/li>\n<li>Mark your calendar\u00a0and look for upcoming news about town halls and the upcoming Microsoft Graph APIs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When the new town hall APIs are released, we will make an announcement and you can start updating your applications to the new town hall experience.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Microsoft Graph APIs, visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/developer.microsoft.com\/en-us\/graph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Graph Dev Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Microsoft365Dev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">X | @Microsoft365Dev<\/a>\u00a0for the latest news and updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The retirement of Teams live events is set to happen on September 30th, 2024.
