- Hey, everyone, my name is Vivian,
and I'm a writer here at Microsoft.
And today I wanna talk
about how to join a
Microsoft Teams meeting.
With so many of us working
from home right now,
it's a pretty common scenario
to be juggling a few
different Teams meetings
on a given workday,
and if you have a Teams meeting invite,
there's actually a few
different ways you can join one.
Right now, I'm in Teams,
and on the left side of Teams,
with the different icons
against the purple background,
we see our calendar.
The most intuitive way to join a meeting
is directly from here.
So I wanna select calendar
to see what I have going on today.
I have a few meetings.
Here, there's a button for join.
This means that this meeting
is currently in progress,
and I can join it now if I want to.
And I'm going to do exactly that.
Before we enter any Teams meeting,
we get to choose our
audio and video settings.
Here, I already have the
video turned on by default
and I'll leave it for the meeting.
I also want to turn on my mic,
so I'll toggle that on as well.
When I'm ready, I just select
Join Now to enter the meeting.
And I'm in!
But let's say I don't have
the Teams app installed
or I have a partner, client, or freelancer
and they're the ones
that don't have Teams.
This isn't an issue, though.
As long as you or your
partner, client, or freelancer
have a Teams meeting invite,
you or they can totally
still join a Teams meeting.
Let's say, for example,
someone invited me to a
Teams meeting via email.
There's a link in this email
for the online meeting.
I'll select Join Microsoft
Teams Meeting to join it.
I get redirected to a browser
where I now have two options,
I can download the Teams app if I want to,
or I can join the online
meeting with Teams on the web.
I'm gonna join on the web
instead out of convenience
so I don't have to download anything.
Next, I need to type in my name,
and, just like earlier,
I'll choose my audio
and video settings, I'll keep my video on,
and turn my mic on, and
then I select Join Now.
Depending on whatever meeting
settings the hosts set,
you might get into it right away,
or you might be waiting in
the lobby like I currently am.
But don't worry, someone
will let you in eventually.
And those are the different ways
you can join a Teams meeting.
