Unable to Join Teams meeting via emails received in my Thunderbird email client.
A colleague is inviting me to occasional conversations to be accessed using Microsoft Teams. The emails appear in my Thunderbird email. Entries are added if required to the integrated calendar , but...

Alan_Ferdman Me too. I did figure out a way of doing (I think Convert to Task allowed you to copy and paste the link) it but it no longer works as of the latest Thunderbird release.
Super super annoying! I had to do a Teams via phone call today and it was rubbish.

MisterK123 I did eventually found a work around but it's less than ideal.
1. Right click on the body of the open invite.
2. Save as... A .eml file will be created
3. Drag the created .eml file into Chrome
4. The link is displayed. Select the entire https:// part.
5. Paste into the address bar of Chrome.
Hope this helps someone!

Hello,
Thanks for your comments . Interesting not just me then. I've tried an alternative workaround by 'viewing the source' of the email and manually copying the http link to effect the same. But this is still horrible. Surprising to me that Thunderbird can't support this obviously widely used platform. Perhaps one of us should report this as a 'bug' for Thunderbird. Not sure if that's easy to do? Thanks again for commenting.
