Joining Zoom Meeting from Teams Room
Hello, I have Teams rooms set up with HP Slices in 3 of our offices, but many of our customers use Zoom as their meeting service. Is there a way to join a Zoom meeting easily from the Teams hardw...

I actually just figured out a work-around for the time being. If you use the Admin password to log into the windows settings side of the Slice machine, you're actually using a regular windows interface. You can then use a browser to log into any of these other services as usual and join meetings. In my tests, the hardware (webcam, mic, speakers) all functioned normally.
In essence, using the Slice with the regular PC interface instead of the touchscreen Teams interface

astraitman - I thought you'd be happy to see yesterday's release notes.
The Microsoft Team had previously said "early 2020"... I guess I'll take late 2020 🙂

I used the Zoom preview today and had a few issues. It decided to use our content camera for the webcam and I wasn't sure how to make it use the other camera. For some reason in the middle of the meeting the screen also went black for a little bit, and when it came back we were not longer able to see the slide show. Just thought I would post some feedback. This was only our first meeting using Zoom on a Teams Room device.

We have a Crestron Flex MTR and it's been working great for Teams, Zoom and WebEx meetings. For Zoom meetings, the system displays content on one screen and participants on the other, but for Zoom and WebEx, it puts everyone on one screen. There is a option in Zoom to utilize two screen.
Does the Zoom client on the MTR have this capability?

Jody Finch thank you! When we checked our system a few weeks ago, this hadn't yet been enabled. Is there an automatic software update that'll be pushed to enable this functionality?

astraitman - I'm not sure of the system requirements but I will say that it works great on our Crestron Flex systems running in Teams Mode.
Be sure to go into your device settings (Main Teams Screen '...' -> Devices Settings -> un/pw) and go to the "Meetings tab" and set Zoom (preview) to ON.
Alternatively, this can done centrally for all TMR devices from Teams admin (Admin.Teams.Microsoft.com -> un/pw -> Devices -> Teams Rooms):
- For an individual device - click the room name, go to actions, edit settings, and choose "Join Third-Party Meetings".
- For multiple devices - click the check mark beside each device (or the check up top for all), click "Edit Settings", choose "Meetings" -> "Join third-party meetings" -> "Replace Existing Value with" -> "Cisco Webex and Zoom".
I hope this helps!

Jody Finch Is there any word on what hardware will support this feature? We are looking to build out Team Rooms in our conference rooms but we MUST have support for Zoom meetings as well. Don't like just setting up a laptop with W10 and forcing users to either login as themselves or a shared account.
- Oct 22, 2020Hi Jeff, all MTR certified hardware will be able to use the Guest Join feature for Webex and Zoom. Devices can be found here at http://aka.ms/teamsdevices
