Issues inviting non-Office 365 guest to Teams on iOS with an @iCloud.com email address
Thanks...that did indeed work. THANK YOU!
I also got all this to work seamlessly on my iPhone but it still failed to acknowledge the setup on the iPad.
Not sure I agree about the source of the issue. After all, Safari is the default. Jumping to Chrome is not the intuitive solution I would expect.
I think this is a Teams app issue and a terribly convoluted way of joining another Team. I would think I would get an invite to join a Teams meeting. That would be accompanied by an access code. I'd open my Teams app, enter the code and voila! No browser jumping required.
FPS_Cathy__Fish I've been testing the whole guest TEAM meeting thing on all platforms, and agree that it is way too obtuse for an end-user especially. But it isn't great when setting up spontaneous meetings either... when the organizer joins a meeting and attempts to add a user, it just creates a link that then has to be pasted into a new email created in Outlook. Organizer then has to re-type the email address for the message and paste the link into the body of the email, then switch back to TEAMS.
If the end-user has an existing TEAMS account they won't be able to join a TEAMS meeting on another domain or o365 tenant, unless they have an account on that tenant (and they'll have to switch accounts). The crux is they must join the meeting as a guest. They may not be presented with the guest option if they have cached TEAMS credentials.... That is, what I think accounts for the loop. If they open a private or anonymous web browser, that will open without any previous knowledge of the meeting, and they can then join as a guest, put in a name, be admitted to the lobby and then be admitted to the meeting. Web client doesn't work with Safari. (so, not helpful on the Mac), or IE on Windows.
As someone suggested elsewhere.... the web invitation should simply include a conference ID so that a user can join with that (like Zoom, or Gotomeeting).
