Interoperability for
Microsoft Teams Rooms​
Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) devices are designed to facilitate seamless collaboration, not only within the Microsoft Teams ecosystem but also with third-party meeting platforms. This interoperability ensures that organizations can maintain efficient communication across various platforms.
Key Interoperability Features:
Direct Guest Join (DGJ):
-
Functionality: Allows MTR devices to join meetings hosted on third-party platforms like Zoom and Cisco Webex with a single touch.
-
Supported Platforms: Primarily Zoom and Cisco Webex.
-
Requirements: Ensure network configurations permit access to the respective third-party services.
Cloud Video Interop (CVI):
-
Functionality: Enables third-party SIP and H.323 video conferencing devices to join Microsoft Teams meetings.
-
Supported Platforms: Various third-party video conferencing systems.
-
Requirements: Deployment of a certified CVI solution from partners like Pexip.
SIP Guest Join:
-
Functionality: Allows MTR devices to join third-party meetings via SIP, expanding compatibility with platforms beyond Zoom and Cisco Webex.
-
Supported Platforms: Platforms supporting SIP-based connections.
-
Requirements: Proper configuration of SIP settings on MTR devices.
Considerations for Implementation:
-
Licensing: Certain interoperability features may require specific MTR licences, such as Teams Rooms Pro.
-
Network Configuration: Ensure that network settings allow communication with third-party services to facilitate seamless interoperability.
-
Device Compatibility: Verify that MTR devices and peripherals are compatible with the desired interoperability features.
By leveraging these interoperability options, organisations can enhance their meeting room flexibility, ensuring effective communication across diverse platforms.
