My Yealink MTR upgraded over the weekend.
- I still don't have a dial-pad while in meetings
- Still no self view when not in a meeting. I can hit the equalizer icon on the lower right to expose the PTZ controls and move the camera, but I have no idea what it is seeing or if moving it is moving it to the right place. Until I join a meeting. Then I can use the PTZ control to move the camera and zoom, but my self view is still only 2x3 inches in the right hand rail. Would be nice if it was the same size as the far end video.
- The volume on my device resets to 50% after I do anything. If I place a call, or join a meeting, or go into the settings menu and back to the main screen.
- I still can't start a new meeting from the device and invite an existing Teams contact. It only seems to search for users that are internal (or hybrid) to the org. Even though the contacts have migrated across from SfBO. If I enter a whole SIP address for an external contact, it just says unable to find the user. This is the same with add participants while in a meeting.
- Again, another problem with guests vs email addresses. If I send an invite from another tenant and enter the SIP address signed into my MTR, I get a different experience depending on how I set up the meeting.
- If I use the Meetings app in Teams and enter the SIP address it only finds the guest user. And the meeting takes a while to show up on the MTR calendar view.
- If I send from Outlook, it does, because I'm not forced into choosing the guest user. As far as Outlook is concerned, it is just an email address. In that case, the meeting invite shows up immediately on the MTR. Even before I accept the meeting. And I can just click join.
- When I join from the inviting tenant it shows that the MTR user is online, even though it isn't signed in to the guest tenant. And I can click the elipses to place a call to the MTR user. The MTR gets an incoming meeting join toast and I can join. Once it is joined, the contact in Teams changes from SIP address to org ID - e.g. 8:orgid:529b0g49-7dec... - and shows that the user is outside the org.
- I also dropped the MTR out of the meeting to see if the invite ever showed up in the calendar and it did. Then I click joined again from the invite and the user in the inviting tenant shows up as the name and not an org ID.
- When I share in the Teams meeting (from the inviting org), the default layout is presentation only in single screen mode. I have to tap layout mode to get the right rail with self and far end video. Would be nice if the default was content and video rail. I haven't tried dual screen mode.
