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.
- Cooling_PowerCopper ContributorThis 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!

Richa_Talaty Are you still being able to use it on mobile browser? Mine has stopped a couple weeks ago.

I would encourage anyone who would like to see this feature to vote for it on the Feedback Portal:
Support for mobile browsers ยท Community (microsoft.com)
Edit: replaced the UserVoice link with a link to the new Microsoft Feedback Portal

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.
Richa_Talaty nothing you can do, Teams does not support mobile browsers and there are currently no plans to add that feature (I know because I asked recently).
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.
