Native Microsoft Sync Technology Migration
- May 24, 2019
It seems we have now been converted today, as it now shows 'Microsoft sync technology' in the account info and the 'Teams Meeting' option shows up in Outlook mobile.
Running the PowerShell command shows that not all users are using it yet, but I have noticed that my device is showing twice. One for 'REST' and one for 'Outlook'.
Finally...
Also notice that Outlook mobile on iOS got updated to version 3.24.1 overnight. Coincidence?
It just doesn't make sense. It would benefit companies to have this before Outlook.com users.
This was announced on the 15th of November and since then, we have had two further announcements that rely on this change.
21/02/2019 (MC173895) Outlook mobile supports Teams Meetings
"The ability to create Teams meetings will be available to all Outlook mobile customers. For customers who have migrated to the updated architecture using the Microsoft sync technology, as communicated in message center post MC165218, we’re also making it easier and faster to join a Teams meeting by introducing a new Join button in calendar events."
05/03/2019 (MC175147) Outlook mobile supports Teams Meetings - updated roll out plans
"In addition, for customers who have also started to use the Microsoft sync technology for Outlook mobile (MC165218), we’re introducing a new Teams Join button in calendar events. This makes it easy to Join a Teams meeting and will be available for all coexistence modes as users could be invited to Teams Meetings even if they are not enabled to create Teams meetings themselves. Customers who are not using the Outlook mobile sync technology yet will continue to be able to join Teams Meetings using the weblink in the meeting description. "
We have now fully converted to using Teams and because we haven't switched over to using the native sync, Outlook mobile still shows 'Skype for Business' for joining Team meetings. Users are selecting this and wondering why it's not working.
I'm going to raise a support ticket with them directly to get this resolved.
