Using Teams to Communicate with Parents
- Sep 20, 2020
MarkLent When you schedule a Teams meeting, you can invite participants from outside your organization by entering their email addresses in the list of attendees. This does not add them to your organization as guest users (as opposed to inviting outside users to join a Team, which does).

- MarkLentSep 20, 2020Copper ContributorRyan Steele Thanks for this! Exactly what I needed. So if this was a call or video meeting would it go through Teams and so parents would need it installed? Or would it just allow them to join the meeting from a link? Thanks.

MarkLent When an external participant clicks on the "Join Teams Meeting" link in the meeting invitation, they will be taken to a web page that looks something like this:
If they don't have the Teams app installed and don't want to download it, they can choose the "Continue on this browser" option to join the meeting from within the browser.
This assumes that they're using one of the browsers listed as supporting meetings https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/get-clients#web-client.
