It can take up to 24 hours for configuration changes to be fully propagated across the system
Make sure to implement the changes well in advance of your first Hive-enabled Teams Live Event.
Events configured before configuring the new settings will NOT be Hive enabled
To use Hive for any previously created events, you'll need to cancel and re-create them.
OPTION 1: Enabling HIVE for Teams Live Events with Teams Admin Center
Your company’s Office 365 Tenant administrator must execute the following steps in the Microsoft Teams Admin Center https://admin.teams.microsoft.com
You need to be signed in with an account that has authorized administrator access.
Select Meetings > Live events settings
Only if using the new interface of Teams admin center
Select Settings & Policies > Live events
Click toggle key to turn ON the "Video distribution provider" option

OPTION 2: Enabling HIVE for Teams Live Events via PowerShell command
Your company’s 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, please use this PowerShell command or cmdlet, replacing the highlighted section with the Hive for Microsoft License key provided via e-mail:
Set-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration -SupportURL -AllowSdnProviderForBroadcastMeeting $True -SdnProviderName hive -SdnLicenseId <replace with Hive License Key> -SdnApiTemplateUrl 'https://api.hivestreaming.com/v1/eventadmin?partner_token={0}'

Verifying the Configuration
You can verify your Teams configuration, including the Hive Streaming configuration, with the cmdlet: Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration.
Use this command:
Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration * Previously one would use the below command, but Microsoft has recently changed the parameter:* Get-CsTeamsMeetingBroadcastConfiguration -ExposeSDNConfigurationJsonBlob $true
