Joining Zoom Meeting from Teams Room
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
Windows 2004 isn't certified for MTRs yet, it will fail to install if you try it. Microsoft unblock the windows version with the MTR app once validated.
App and OS management can be done today with Intune, but more features are due over time as well.
As for showing the calendar information on the Front of Room display, that would certainly be an item for User voice if not already on there.
TheGrahamWalsh Thanks for the update. Interesting they are so far behind. My only concern with these kind of devices is long term support. Hopefully that will not become an issue.
I was thinking about Intune but I thought devices in intune had to be licensed to a user. This is for a conference room. I suppose, since the conference room has a mailbox and a license, I could use that same account... right now, it is just using the default user account.
I figured the FoR display could not be altered and user voice was going to be the answer. Hopefully, MS opens this up more. Feels like a no brainer to display the upcoming meeting though.
- Hi Jeff, when you purchase the Meeting Room license, that includes Intune, so it has you covered 🙂 https://www.graham-walsh.com/microsoft-teams-room-licensing-what-do-you-need/
As for upcoming meetings, there is a new Teams Panel coming which is displayed outside the room. https://www.graham-walsh.com/microsoft-teams-devices-roundup-from-microsoft-ignite-2020/#microsoft_teams_panel
