Microsoft Teams: Join a Teams Meeting without a Cedar Crest account

Overview

Microsoft Teams is a great way to hold online meetings, events, and discussions.  There are times that you may want to invite individuals without Microsoft Teams accounts.  Here are instructions for how they will join your Teams meeting.

Joining a Teams Meeting without a Teams account.

1. Go to the meeting invite and select Join Microsoft Teams Meeting.
   
   
    
2. That'll open a web page, where you'll see two choices: Download the Windows app and Join on the web instead. If you join on the web, you can use either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. Your browser may ask if it's okay for Teams to use your mic and camera. Be sure to allow it so you'll be seen and heard in your meeting.
3. Enter your name and choose your audio and video settings. If the meeting room (or another device that's connected to the meeting) is nearby, choose Audio off to avoid disrupting. Select Phone audio if you want to listen to the meeting on your mobile phone.
4. When you're ready, hit Join now.
5. This will bring you into the meeting lobby. The meeting organizer will be notified that you're there, and someone in the meeting can then admit you.
