How to enable Microsoft eCDN
Setup
After you’ve purchased the Microsoft eCDN SKU, enable the solution on your tenant by following these steps:
Open your Teams Admin Center and navigate to Live events settings.
Choose Microsoft eCDN from the Video distribution provider selection box.
Leave the Custom Support URL as-is. It isn't mandatory.
Make sure to select Save.
Note
The system requires from 4 – 24 hours to provision Microsoft eCDN on your tenant.
Caution
Currently, pre-scheduled live events will not use Microsoft eCDN. To ensure your pre-scheduled events are Microsoft eCDN enabled, please re-create them post provisioning.
Town halls (Teams Premium)
Premium town halls, or town halls organized by a user with a Teams Premium license, are Microsoft eCDN supported by default, regardless of the configuration set in your tenant's Teams Admin Center's Live events settings page.
Validate setup
See our how to validate documentation.
Extended configuration
Administrators can define groups of peers and policies to restrict peering over specific networks, VPNs, across offices, etc.
You can incorporate your own subnet mapping by uploading a CSV file listing your subnets to Microsoft eCDN’s Subnet Mapping page. For guidance on how to prepare your subnet mappings CSV, refer to the subnet mapping documentation.
