This call will join you to a conference

Hi All,

 

since a week or two we have the problem, that when we invite a third party participant to a teams conference the person hears an announcement that "this call will join you to a conference". The person than has to press the "1" on the phone to join. This behavior is new and without us having changed any settings. Is there a way to turn this off, so the participant can join without that announcement? If not, can we change the language from english to german?

 

Under "Meeting Policies" in the Teams Admin Center I found the setting "Automatically admit people" and changed it from "Everyone in the Organisation" to "Everyone" but nothing changed.

 

 

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
 
Best regards,
 
Marc

  • Hi Marc_Schumacher ,

     

    Are you making that policy change to the default Org wide one? I only ask because if not or if Meeting Organisers have a different meeting policy assigned to them you will need to ensure they have the policy that you are making changes to assigned to them.

     

    I would also use the following as a reference:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-policies-in-teams#:~:text=When%20you%20implement%20a%20per-organizer%20policy%2C%20all%20meeting,by%20the%20user%20who%20is%20assigned%20the%20policy.

     

    Not sure on the press 1 option.

    Thanks

      Hello HenryPhillipsNimbitech 

       

      I am using the default org-wide policy. But through further research I have come to the conclusion, that the policy is probably not responsible for my problem. I found some older PowerShell commands from the Lync/S4B-era which could match my problem.

       

      Some paramaters which can be set with the commands Set-CsDialInConferencingDtmfConfiguration and

      Set-CsDialInConferencingConfiguration seem to look very promising. Unfortunatly they don't work when loading the Teams and S4B-Modules into the PowerShell. Maybe because they are outdated.

       

      Still wondering that there is barely anything to find about this behavior and that it showed up out of nothing.

       

      Best regards

       

      Marc
