MS TEAMS ON MOBILE BROWSER

Hi,

 

So I want to be able to access MS Teams meetings on the mobile browser itself, i.e on the mobile web app.

I don't want our customers to be asked to download the MS Teams mobile app. They should be able to join meetings directly from the browser itself.

 

What should I do?

 

Thanks,

Richa

    Good news, it's actually possible to access MS Teams via mobile browser. You just need to set your mobile browser to "request desktop site" when the "browser not supported" window shows up. Then you can access Teams as usual.

    This is so typical of Microsoft. Nobody in my org wants to download TEAMS. We just want to access via a browser. Microsoft obviously wants the TEAMS install and data collection vacuum. Stop the spying Microsoft and just provide a decent service without download requirements. Everybody else can do it, so can you!

    This feature is a much needed feature. This would greatly improve the user experience for guests joining Microsoft Teams meetings from their phone.

      jklein1100agreed. This is essential to businesses with clients who are not Tech savvy and either do not want to, or do not know how to download an app.

    Just to add, when someone is directed to download the app from a meeting join on mobile it all passes through. so once they have the app it will open and join the meeting. At no stage do they need an account or to log in.
