Use Microsoft Teams to call into Zoom or Webex Meetings
Hi,
Microsoft Teams Room systems will get that update so that they can join Webex and Zoom meetings, unclear when. MTR is software from Microsoft and hardware from their partners.
Check out the systems here:

It will look like this when the system is updated.
Murray Walker that is very encouraging news, it would seem like we are not far off from the Zoom "direct guest join" functionality with this release.
I forwarded on the announcement post to my Zoom representative, and she indicated that it was still in development - no timeline given. I need to wait until Teams Rooms has this functionality before switching from Zoom Rooms, so anxiously awaiting this release.
Christophe Palaniyandy Microsoft have announced "Join Cisco Webex meetings from Teams Rooms with direct guest join" in the latest release of the MTR software.
Nothing announced for Zoom yet though!

LinusCansby Looking forward to have this feature available officially, especially during these times where video conferencing is a key business driver and interoperability is becoming more and more a feature requested by senior executives and other key strategic business roles.
Hugo_Plaisier Sorry, I have not seen any public roadmap about this.
LinusCansby Any update on this?
- Nothing new about this on the roadmap.
- any update on this update?
You can actually join a Zoom meeting from a Teams Room now. Tested it last week ago for a 3 hour meeting. The Zoom account must enable Skype integration on their end. Once that is done follow these steps on the Room System to join a meeting:
On the Team Room System:
Click “New meeting”Click “Enter URI”
Enter mailto:92844604408@lync.zoom.us
Make sure to choose that address if it shows you more than one listing.
Click Invite
After it connects:
Click the Dial Pad at the top of the screenType %zoommeetingpassword% followed by #
You should be connected and waiting in the lobby. You may need to turn on the camera and microphone on the Teams Room system if they appear muted.
LinusCansby This update can't get here quickly enough. It would solve so many problems at our office.
Reviving a slightly old thread, but interestingly this is possible.
It’s not the slickest user experience and not something I would necessarily recommend. Still, interestingly you can dial this SfB SIP URI from Microsoft Teams to join the Zoom or Webex or another platform meeting.
You are probably better joining with the native client for those platforms.
This works via federation, so you need to be in Teams Only mode (which allowed federation) and have federation enabled. Unfortunately, most Teams users won’t know what “mode” they are in.
Here are the details

- Hi,
Any update?
This is essential for us going forward with Teams Rooms.
It is the most asked for by end users. Maybe David Groom , Christian Schacht or Robert Carlsson have some information they can share when we can see the Webex and Zoom meetings in MTR?
- Eagerly awaiting this. Thanks for sharing!
- Thank you. Can't wait for this update! Maybe an insider can provide further information on when it's going to be released?
