Interop SfB and standard-based sip clients
Hi everyone, i would like to know how you handle Meetings where your participant wants to connect with his "legacy" sip/h.323 vc. Do you use something like pexip and let it act as a gateway or did you use a cloud based service like Starleaf Medley. Greets Jörg

Setup PSTN Conferencing in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft just released Teams PSTN Conferencing service right before Microsoft Ignite. First of all, ensure that you assigned PSTN conferencing license(s) to user(s) Login to Teams Meetings > Schedule a Meeting http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-05/561745.1.png 4. Setup a new meeting, add attendees as follow. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-05/87273520.3.png For now, you cannot invite external users as attendees in Teams yet like you can in SFB Meeting Invite, I believe you can do that in soon future. So, if you need to invite external users, just copy the invite message and email them. Attendees received meeting invitation email as follow, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-05/02500.4.png Meetings > click on meeting invite and Join button. I invited two users, one user is my internal user who received the invite email, I manually copy the invitation email and send to the other user, who will join the meeting using his mobile/phone; both joined the meeting, you will see a user is using his mobile number to join and while my internal users use teams client to join. The external user called +6531570124 (Toll) number to join the PSTN conferencing. It's surprising to take note that I cannot join Teams meeting using my SFB client though I can see the invite in my SFB client's meeting calendar, when I click the meeting link, it brings me to either use web browser or use Teams client. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-05/56804.5.png It’s also noted that I cannot invite external users and dial telephone number -- yet. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-05/4621.6.png

SRS V2 externally hosted meetings
We have been evaluating SRS V2 and Logitech Smartdock for a couple of months now and we really like the solution. We have however found a problem that we would like some input on. Joining the SRS V2 system to an externally hosted Skype Meeting. As shown in the app itself, to do this the organizer should invite the room acoount to the meeting. Simple solution, but requires the organizer to do something he already did when he invited one of our users to the Skype meeting. We thought the best solution for this scenario would be to forward the calendar item (the Skype Meeting) to the room account as this had been tested with internal usage (i.e a receptionist can forward meetings from a users account to the room resource in case of a change in meeting rooms etc). First issue was that the room resource does not accept external adresses. Easily fixed by changing a setting on the room resource via PowerShell. (When you forward an external meeting invite to the internal room resource, the room resource sees the invite with the external senders adress, not the internal users adress). So now the room resource accepts meeting invitations and forwarding of meetings from external senders. It even shows up in the SRS device. The problem is that the SRS device does not recognize the meeting as a Skype meeting. After a lot of research we found out the following: - SRS requires the MAPI property OnlineMeetingExternalLink. If it does not find this property with the link to the Skype Meeting URL, it does not recognize the meeting request as a Skype Meeting. - If you add this property with the URL from the "Join Skype Meeting" link in the body of the meeting request to the calendar item, it shows up correcly as a Skype Meeting on the SRS device and works correctly. (We did this with the MFCMAPI editor) The reason that forwarding meeting requests works interally in an organization is that the property OnlineMeetingExternalLink is preserved when sending internally in Exchange. When you send a Skype Meeting request out of your organization, the standard settings in Exchange strip this information from the meeting request. You can change this according to this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb310786%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx The catch is that changing the TNEF settings has to be done on the organizers end, and it is not possible for everyone to do that. At this point we started brainstorming ideas to hack together a solution which would: - Find the URL to the Skype Meeting in the body of the meeting request - Insert this URL with the MAPI property OnlineMeetingExternalLink to the calendar object in the room resource No progress has been made on that, so I would like to ask the developers of the SRS V2 app to look into this as it would make the system much more robust in regards to handling Skype Meeting requests. The ability for our users to simply forward meeting requests or calendar objects to whatever room resource with SRS installed that is available would make this solution extremely simple in use. The app is already so easy to use that everyone can just start using it, but by adding this functionality it would make the whole process extremely easy to use. If anyone else has similar experiences I would really like to hear them, or if you solved this issue somehow that would be awesome!

SFB not changing status automatically to "In a meeting" when joining a meeting.
I'm having issues with Skype for business on my PC. When I join a meeting linked to my Outlook, my skype status will not update to "in a meeting" nor is that option available for me to change manually. If anyone has any insight on this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Skype for Business conference call with private Skype user
I need to orginize a conference call, and majority of people on that call will be using SfB (Office 365 E3, I think) and one of them is on normal Skype. So my question is, can I add a person on normal Skype to the SfB conference call? thanks.

Reset Dial-in conferencing PIN seems to be available for Skype Online users now
Works in my tenant now. Users still can't choose their own PINs, but atleast they can now reset it themselves :-) Clicking the "Forgot your dial-in PIN?" in the meeting invite will redirect you to this online page.

Call Me At not working
Previously my organization relied on the call me at feature for our E3 users that did not have a headset/microphone to join meetings with. We tried to use this feature today and it no longer works. From what I am reading you now want us to purchase an E5 license for this feature. When did this change? Were notifications sent out? This was working for us less than 2 months ago. Lana O'Brien
