Note: There are meetings where you are not allowed to join as a guest.

  1. To join a Microsoft Teams meeting, go to the meeting invitation and select the Join Microsoft Teams Meeting option.

You can either download the Windows app from the Microsoft Store, or you can join the event online by clicking on the link for registration. You can either use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge if you want to join on the web. Depending on your browser, you might be asked if you want Teams to be able to use your microphone or camera. If you would like to be heard and seen in your meeting, please make sure you allow it.
  3. Choose the audio and video settings that are right for you by entering your name. Depending on your location (or any other device that may be connected to the meeting) it may be possible for you to turn off the audio if you are close to the meeting room.

Organizer’s view

We will send you an alert in case anyone is waiting in the lobby of the hotel if you are the meeting organizer.
