Other ways to join meetings and collaborate

Teams offers other ways to join and collaborate in meetings. Please continue reading the article for advice and guidance around the following scenarios:

1. 1. • Join a meeting via a Teams Channel
      • Join a meeting via a Chat
      • Join a meeting via multiple devices
      • Join a meeting as a guest
      • Join a meeting by Dialling-in

Join a meeting in a Teams Channel

If a meeting takes place in a channel, you’ll see an invitation to join, relevant content, and who’s in the meeting right in the channel. Just select Join. You can do this from the desktop app, web app or mobile client.

Join a meeting via a Teams Chat

After joining a meeting for the first time via the link in outlook, it will appear in your recent chat list. Select the meeting in your chat list and then select Join/re-join at the top of the chat. This is the same for Teams desktop, web and mobile apps

Join a meeting via multiple devices

Join a meeting on more than one device for more collaboration and content-sharing options. If you’re already in a meeting on your laptop, for example, you can join on your phone as well to share live video, control a presentation with your phone, and much more.

When you’ve joined a meeting on one device, open Teams on your mobile phone. (Make sure both devices are signed in to the same Teams account.). You’ll see a message at the top of your mobile screen with an option to join the meeting on this device. Tap Join to share content from your phone with everyone in the meeting. If you join this way, your phone’s speaker and mic will be muted to avoid causing an echo effect.

Join a meeting as a guest

If you don’t have a Teams account and the meeting organizer has allowed it, you may have the option to enter your name to join the meeting as a guest. If you do have a Teams account, select Sign in to join with access to the meeting chat and more. Then, depending on the organizer’s settings, you may join the meeting right away or go to the lobby where people in the meeting can admit you.

Join a meeting by Dialling in
