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.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many organisations experience this exact pattern during their Copilot rollout. The good news? It’s not a failure of the tool.
It’s a gap in how adoption is supported.

If you spend any time creating presentations in PowerPoint, there's a good chance you've experienced this.
You've carefully designed a slide. You've chosen the colours, added text, aligned everything perfectly, and perhaps even applied effects such as shadows or outlines. Then you look at it and realise: "That's completely the wrong shape."
