Does Surface Hub 2S devices support "Direct Guest Join" like MTR devices?
Does Surface Hub 2S devices support "Direct Guest Join" like MTR devices?
MTR (Windows) devices support "Direct Guest Join" to third party meetings like Cisco Webex & Zoom. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/rooms/third-party-join.
With Teams client on Surface Hub 2S devices updated to MTR - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-hub/surface-hub-teams-rooms, does it already support 'Direct Guest Join" has anyone tested yet? If not yet, is it part of the road map? When can we expect this?

- Tested with Zoom and Webex and it does not work. With Zoom it shows the Zoom logo next to the meeting subject, with Webex it does not.
But in my case, it is maybe just a matter of changing/setting up the resource account. Will try soon with a properly set up resource account.
But you can use the Edge browser to join other platforms - tested with Webex, Zoom, Google Meet. But it is not easy as pushing one button to join.- Thanks vojtechblazek. I am aware of the ability to do those calls thru Edge Browser.
"Direct Guest Join" is Surface receiving the calendar request from Cisco Webex / Zoom platforms & ability to join those calls thru the device.
Look foward to hear from you again once you test.Pradeep_KL Tested it on a different account ("Logitech Tap") and I manually added Zoom and Webex meetings into the account's calendar (to be sure). On SurfaceHub DGJ doesn't work. With Zoom meeting, it knew it is hosted on Zoom because it showed Zoom logo in the Teams app but no join button showed or anything happened when hitting the meeting.
On the home screen, it doesn't show any platform-specific info.
With the same setup, DGJ on MTRoA worked fine (only Zoom supported).
I guess we have to wait for MS to add this feature - like with anything useful.
