  "textContent": "**[Introduction]**\n\nTo improve reliability for large-scale live events, Microsoft Teams town halls will soon support a backup **Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)** stream. RTMP is a standard live‑streaming protocol used by event organizers to send live video and audio to a streaming service, such as Microsoft Teams. This enhancement helps ensure uninterrupted broadcasts by automatically failing over to a secondary RTMP stream if the primary stream experiences an interruption. This change increases resiliency for high-visibility events without adding complexity for organizers.\n\nThis message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for the web. It is associated with Roadmap ID 554932.\n\n**[When this will happen:]**\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Availability (Worldwide, GCC): Rollout begins **late April 2026** and completes by **late April 2026**\n\n\n\n\n**[How this affects your organization:]**\n\n**Who is affected:**\n\n  * Organizers and producers hosting Microsoft Teams town halls using RTMP-based production workflows\n\n\n\n**What will happen:**\n\n  * Organizers can configure a backup RTMP stream during event setup using **Teams Meeting options** in **Production tools**.\n  * If the primary RTMP stream fails, Teams will automatically fail over to the backup stream with no manual intervention.\n  * There's no change to the attendee experience.\n  * The feature is **available by default** ; no admin configuration is required.\n\n\n\n**[What you can do to prepare:]**\n\n  * No action is required.\n  * Optionally, update internal event-production documentation and notify event producers of this new resiliency option.\n\n\n\n**Learn more:** Use RTMP-In in Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Support (will be updated before rollout)\n\n\n\n\n**[Compliance considerations:]**\n\nNo compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.",
