Hello readers, hope you’re well.
A really quick one here. You know by now that you can join Teams meetings as a guest using a modern browser. Such as Edge (legacy), Edge Chrome of Google Chrome.
Well it turns out that you can also join using the Teams (Windows 10) desktop client.
This is useful for those that don’t have a modern browser and don’t use Teams for anything besides meeting join. Admins can easily push out the Teams app using group policy or Intune etc.
How to do it?
Just click on the meeting link and choose open Teams. Now enter your name and click join now
You can also enable audio and video and change settings.
Once the meeting ends you’ll see a page inviting you to sign in and a link to get more info about Teams.
And that’s it. I told you it was a quick one. Hope it was useful

Hi Randy,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to touch base with you regarding the check-in feature in Teams that I tested using the room touch panel. I am able to successfully receive email notifications to the host when the organizer did not check in to the room during a meeting.
Additionally, I was also able to get bumped out of the meeting when not checked in.
However, I did want to bring to your attention that I am not receiving any notifications in the chat window of the meeting. For example, a notification that says “Someone in the meeting, please check-in the room” would be helpful.
Could you help to find a solution to get this notification in the chat window of the meeting? Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Only way i can think of doing that is intercepting the email and using power platform to send a chat message
