Link to join meeting (Teams)
Hi people, I'm wondering if there is a way how to obtain URL link to invite participants to scheduled meeting before the actual meeting starts. It seems there is no such a think apart of copying ...

Michal_Horniecky - You can shorten the URL if you're careful. Here's a URL generated by Outlook for a Teams Meeting (I've changed some of the ID characters for security reasons):

Scary, right? Thing is, you don't really need all of that. I found that it wouldn't fit into a SharePoint List Link column ... too many characters. So I set about finding a way to shorten it. First thing, use an online decoder to get rid of the ASCII % characters. So that it looks like this:
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/t-59584e83/?url=https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZGJlZDQ4ZTUtODJjNi00NDZiLTg4ZWItMzE2ZjQ2OGFlMmY3%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22fe56fae7-055e-4c9g-b6d9-9a341506a999%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22a5464a0f-b535-456c-bfef-04c1c5fbbc23%22%7d&data=04|01|Alan.McKenzie@uk.xxx.com|a54e541aabef4472988408d9b4c111f1|ce56fae6055d4c9fb6c99d341506a491|1|0|637739563593131543|Unknown|TWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0=|3000&sdata=cwpIaghts6DmHQYmmFliY06uP8o2NkCqOhBqof+/+uc=&reserved=0
There's still a bit of manual unencoding to do ... but first you can get rid of the last 3+ lines (red text). That leaves us with:
https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/ap/t-59584e83/?url=https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZGJlZDQ4ZTUtODJjNi00NDZiLTg4ZWItMzE2ZjQ2OGFlMmY3%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22fe56fae7-055e-4c9g-b6d9-9a341506a999%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22a5464a0f-b535-456c-bfef-04c1c5fbbc23%22%7d
We don't need that Outlook preface (in red), either. So now we have a much shorter URL that still needs a little manual unencoding:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZGJlZDQ4ZTUtODJjNi00NDZiLTg4ZWItMzE2ZjQ2OGFlMmY3%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22fe56fae7-055e-4c9g-b6d9-9a341506a999%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22a5464a0f-b535-456c-bfef-04c1c5fbbc23%22%7d
You can find a guide to the ASCII codes at W3C. Once you've unencoded the remainder, you're left with:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_ZGJlZDQ4ZTUtODJjNi00NDZiLTg4ZWItMzE2ZjQ2OGFlMmY3@thread.v2/0?context={"Tid":"fe56fae7-055e-4c9g-b6d9-9a341506a999","Oid":"a5464a0f-b535-456c-bfef-04c1c5fbbc23"}
So the format is:
Thread ID - teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_ZGJlZDQ4ZTUtODJjNi00NDZiLTg4ZWItMzE2ZjQ2OGFlMmY3@thread.v2
Thread Message ID - 0 (has a value of zero because the URL was generated by Outlook, not Teams)
Tenant ID - fe56fae7-055e-4c9g-b6d9-9a341506a999
Organiser ID - a5464a0f-b535-456c-bfef-04c1c5fbbc23
