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'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!
