Use Microsoft Teams to call into Zoom or Webex Meetings
Kiril Thanks for raising the question, we're in the same position although starting from scratch equipping new meeting rooms. We had a long call with Poly today to go through the options and got completely baffled! Being fully Microsoft 365 focussed, we'd prefer to go native MTR over InterOp, but often have calls with clients / partners using Zoom / BlueJeans / other so can't afford to not be able to join their calls.
If we had MTR in a meeting room, would we not be able to join a BlueJeans call setup by another organisation at all, or would it just be a poor experience? Would it be possible to connect to the MTR equipment, join the call on someone's laptop browser and have them present through the equipment?
I'd really appreciate any advice anyone can provide as our current setup is far from ideal!
Thanks, Oz
Oz Oscroft You would need to look at a Cloud Video Interop provider to get your MTRs to talk to Zoom and/or BlueJeans at this time.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/cloud-video-interopThanks Murray Walker . I think we're going to head down the Team room route anyway as it's ultimately where we want to be (and seemingly a lot cheaper than many of the InterOp solutions). Hoping MS solve the Zoom issue soon, but it sounds like there's ways and means of working around the issue for now.
Oz Oscroft As far as I know, WebEx is being rolled out, so you can join WebEx meetings, which have invited your room. Other than that, no interop is available as of now (as far as I know).
