Did you know you can join a Microsoft Teams meeting without a Microsoft 365 account?

Here’s how it works:

-When creating a meeting, choose 'Virtual appointment'

-Guests can join via the web and enter through a tailored lobby

-No Microsoft 365 or Teams account needed

 

From the guest’s perspective:

-They receive the invite in their personal inbox (Gmail, for example)

-They can join in the browser or the Teams app if it’s installed

 

They can choose to:

-Sign in with a different account

-Or join without signing in

 

If you’re running sessions with people who don’t live in Microsoft 365 every day, this feature removes a big barrier to joining.
