Today, we are excited to announce the ability to join meetings from the Microsoft Teams mobile apps on iOS and Android. Now you can join your private and channel meetings right from the app with one-touch, and participate with audio and HD video. You can also make a direct 1:1 audio or video call from the Teams mobile apps.

 

While in a meeting, you can easily view shared content, start a chat with the meeting participants, and bring in a new participant. It's easy to switch between audio devices, and intuitive meeting controls appear only when you need them with a light tap on your screen, so you can stay focused on the content.

Awesome progress Praveen and team! Mobile app is really leaping forward lately!

I love the ability to have HD video chat on mobile and access to all of my tabs! This makes it much easier to collaborate with my coworkers around the world - especially when I have to have a meeting outside of my business hours.

Meetings support is a huge deal for several of our groups - Sales, Executives, other road-warrior types.  Most of our company loves Teams, but I didn't push it to these groups too hard yet, due to lack of this feature.  They can join Skype FB meetings via mobile apps, so there was little chance for them to switch to Teams, until now.  Woo Hooo!!!!

Hi Asjad, In the Teams app, go to Settings > Report an Issue. The help desk team can help you fix this issue.

 Fantastic. How far away are we from being able to record meetings held in Microsoft Teams?

Hello @Praveen Maloo. I am not seeing the option to join a call from a group chat on the mobile app for Android. Please confirm is this is intended behavior. On the desktop app I can join or initiate a call from a group chat but I don't see this option from my mobile - there is no icon. 

Microsoft

@Christopher Kevranian that's correct  - group calling is not yet supported on mobile apps. Stay tuned!

What about those small part of people with Windows Mobile phones? Will we get those features?

Are there any limitation on File uploads on mobile app? I've encountered an error when I was uploading a 10 mb file.

Microsoft

@Pratik Stephen - are you aware of any file size limitations? 

@Elgee Glen Kiunisala - is this on iOS/Android/WP? what kind of file?

Copper Contributor

The functionality described on this threat looks awesome. Pity that Microsoft are prioritizing iOS and Android apps. Seems they are forcing WP users to move so they can complete the closure of that part of the business. :(

 

Microsoft

@Elgee Glen Kiunisala we've fixed the issue and updated the file upload limit to 100MB. This change will be rolling out with our next update scheduled in the week of Nov 20.

Copper Contributor

@Priyank Singhal thanks for that update!

Teams on iPhone provides a +1 to indicate if there are additional people on the video call. It looks like it prioritizes those that are unmuted or have spoken most recently.

 

It is not obvious using the iOS mobile app when someone new joined the call. (No indication of when someone logs on besides the +1 in the corner).

 

Is this something that will be improved in the near future.

Microsoft

@Charles Shaw - We display 4 active attendees on the meeting, and increase the count for additional people joining - so you should be seeing the count increase as more people roll-in. You should also be able to look-up the attendees in the meeting when you click on the people icon on the right top corner
