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
TheGrahamWalsh Hi Graham - do you know if the ability to join Zoom/WebEx meetings is available via something like a Poly TC8 (i.e. Android based Teams Rooms devices) as opposed to Windows based devices like the Poly GC8?
- Yes it’s on the public roadmap. Now estimated for June 2022
Could you please let me know if the 3rd party meeting join (ZOOM, Webex) is available on Android based MTR (Poly X studio with TC8 controller) If not is there a road map for the feature set.
Is it possible there are different WebRTC implementations for the personal room vs meetings? TimHeidemann
- Thank you!
- Hi AlyssaMathews I don't have any details of an ETA on Guest Join on Android. It is not on the public roadmap yet. If you wanted to get more accurate data, then I'd suggest speaking with your local Microsoft contact.
TheGrahamWalsh Are there any plans, that you know of, to add Android based systems? Or, do you know of an ETA that Android will be added?
TheGrahamWalsh absolutely.
- Thanks, Tim, for that detail, if you don't mind, I'll add that to my blog for anyone troubleshooting in the future.
TheGrahamWalsh found today that meetings created in Webex as a personal room meeting work fine sent as guest join to an MTR. The join button is formatted as "company.webex.com/meet/my.name". Meetings created in a Webex Space that format the join button as "company.webex.com/m/gibberish" do not work when an MTR is invited. I tried re-formatting the hyperlink, changing the "m" to "meet" but that didn't work either. I also note that some Webex Spaces create meetings with a "company.webex.com" link and some create meetings with a "web.ciscospark.com" link. I can't seem to find the logic/common denominator on the difference in the Spaces but neither of them work as guest join on an MTR anyway.
