Teams invitation, from Teams app vs Calendar forward
So for anyone who comes across this issue like I did for the X50 and TR8, here's how I resolved it to accept meetings and have the join button without forwarding:
- Login to Exchange online PowerShell with G.Admin.
- Run the following commands against the Meeting room account:
- Set-CalendarProcessing -Identity "NAME OF MEETING ROOM" -AutomateProcessing AutoAccept -DeleteComments $false -DeleteSubject $false -AllowConflicts $false -ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true
- Create a meeting in outlook calendar but DO NOT invite meeting account
- Forward said meeting to the meeting account
- From meeting room side, join the meeting when it is shown on TR8 touch tablet.
- Leave meeting from tablet and original sender
- Cancel meeting from the senders calendar
- Create another meeting, but this time invite the meeting account directly
- Verify join is there and join meeting from meeting room
Now every meeting invite sent should show the Join button available
Yeah, if you enable:
-ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true
and
-AutomateProcessing AutoAccept
Then both internal and external parties can invite the meeting room to a TEAMS meeting. This is good.
The original issue above was when you get an invite from an external party and you don't or can't ask them to invite your boardroom. So you want to be able to forward that meeting yourself, to the boardroom to take the meeting in there. This was an issue with The local install of Microsoft Outlook. It was breaking the TEAMS metadata in the invite when you forwarded it... so the boardroom was not able to Join.
This should be fixed now, as Microsoft resolved it in an update, however, as a workaround... if you are having this issue, forwarding the invite to the boardroom using the web version of outlook worked when the local install of Outlook was not.
