Use SRT-In in Microsoft Teams

Note

SRT_In in Teams is available as part of the public preview program and might undergo further changes before being released publicly. To get access to this and other upcoming features, switch to Teams Public Preview.

Enable SRT-In for your Teams event to produce your event directly from an external hardware- or software-based encoder. Teams SRT-In can support an additional SRT source that will automatically failover if the first SRT stream drops from the meeting or event.

Unlike RTMP, SRT has a security layer in the encoder by default, so there's no option to turn on Secure connection SSL. Please ensure proper SRT-In configuration before using this feature.

Note

An additional SRT-In source will only failover when the primary SRT-In source completely drops from the meeting or event. It will not failover in the event of streaming quality issues.

To schedule an event with SRT-In:  

  1. Select Calendar in Teams.
  2. Select New  or select an event type in the dropdown menu. 
  3. Enter your event details.
  4. Select Options Settings button .
  5. In Production tools , turn the SRT - In toggle on. To use an additional SRT stream, turn the Additional SRT source toggle on.
  6. Select Apply to get a link and finish setup.

Note

If you don't see this in your meeting options, contact your IT admin.

  1. Select Calendar in Teams.
  2. Select an event.
  3. Select View event  > Options .
