Use Microsoft Teams to call into Zoom or Webex Meetings

Dear community, as Skype for Business will be replaced by Teams I was wondering how I can video call into Zoom / Webex / BlueJeans / StarLeaf meetings?   Currently I can dial into those meetings by...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry to Drag this up again but ultimately I don't think the question has been answered.

 

What we know:

  • Teams Room Systems currently have support to Join Webex and Zoom meetings.
  • This feature is enabled by the use of Skype for Business
  • Converting to Teams Only Mode will break this feature
  • You can use an interop solution or CVI to enable stakeholders using other technologies to join your Teams Meetings?

July 2021 is the end of life date for skype for business so this feature will no longer function at all.

 

Will there be a Teams solution for this?

Will the teams room systems use the Web interface of these solutions to enable this feature?

 

Cheers,

We are a MS Teams shop.  I too need a simple solution (prefer the one touch Join button) to join, Teams, Zoom, WebEx, Google, BlueJeans, etc.

I started talking to Poly about a "RealConnect license" but it sounds like you would have to pay Poly each year and then in addition pay for a Zoom Room license, WebEx Room, etc.  Even though we are not hosting the Zoom or WebEx meetings, but because the meeting is utilizing the conference room devices to join a Zoom or WebEx meeting you need to pay for those licenses as well.

Doesn't every business need a solution like this nowadays?
