How does the Surface hub know what to dial in an Invite? It doesent seem to understand the standard
Hey team. Quick question here and hopefully i can make it make sence. So with the Skype for buisness Desktop client if you want to imbed a link in a calender event to people outside your enviroment (...
The first attempt is by looking for TNEF metadata in the email. But Exchange strips this by default when leaving your domain/when the destination is a different domain.
The next is parsing the message body for a Join Skype Meeting link of the regular format. But if the meeting room account has DeleteComments set to false, message body will not be present in the meeting on the Hub, and so there would be nothing to parse. Please see for full list of recommended Exchange properties: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-hub/exchange-properties-for-surface-hub-device-accounts
What it's looking for is the Skype for Business meeting details generated by Outlook and Skype for Business when you create an invite. I would say it is something proprietary as it's their hardware working with their software.
