titleOPTION 2: Enabling HIVE for Teams live events via PowerShell command

Your company Skype for Business or Microsoft 365 Tenant administrator must execute the Microsoft PowerShell command Set-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration.

If you have already activated Teams live events - and only need to enable HIVE - use this PowerShell command or cmdlet, replacing the highlighted section with the HIVE for Microsoft License key provided via e-mail:

Set-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration -SupportURL https://support.office.com/home/contact -AllowSdnProviderForBroadcastMeeting $True -SdnProviderName hive -SdnLicenseId <replace with Hive License Key> -SdnApiTemplateUrl 'https://api.hivestreaming.com/v1/eventadmin?partner_token={0}'

For more information on the Set-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration cmdlet, please refer to the Microsoft documentation.

Verifying the Configuration

You can verify your Teams configuration – including the Hive Streaming configuration – with the cmdlet Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration:

Use this command:

Code Block
Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration 

* Previously one would use the below command, but Microsoft has recently changed the parameter:
* Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration -ExposeSDNConfigurationJsonBlob $true

Info

It can take up to 24 hours for configuration changes to be fully propagated across the system, so be sure to execute these cmdlets well before you plan on running your first HIVE-enabled Teams live event.

Note

Events configured before executing the cmdlet or the UI will NOT use HIVE.  If you have created events previously with which you would like to use HIVE - you should delete those events and re-create them.

Note

Teams live events Live Events that rely on external encoders also rely on Microsoft Stream. Therefore, if you plan on using an encoder with Microsoft Teams live events (and HIVE), you should proceed with the process to enable HIVE for Microsoft Stream.
