Since the MTR is joining a Zoom call, the MTR doesn’t have the option of inviting additional participants from their network while in the call. The second concern is a little easier to work around. That participant can then use the share screen feature like normal.

This device will likely be a personal device, like a laptop of one of the participants. Our answer to this dilemma is the same as our Zoom Rooms solution, have the Zoom user invite a separate device on the Microsoft Teams side dedicated to content sharing.

Since the Microsoft Teams Room is connecting a Zoom call, the Zoom users have normal access to content sharing while the MTR does not. Again, our biggest concern is the lack of content sharing between the two platforms. Just like connecting to Teams from Zoom Rooms, there are a few limitations that you should be aware of. This long awaited feature is a step in the right direction but still has a few hurdles. You can find more details on the limitations by continuing this post below the instructions. We used the Poly G10-T as the MTR device, but it should work just as well on whichever PC-based MTR system you choose. If you are looking to jump right in, then please follow the steps or watch the video in the box below. There are similar limitations and restrictions, but the process is easy and works well. Just like the first post, we’ve tested the process so you can know what to expect.

The process only requires that you turn on a couple features on your Microsoft Teams Room device, instructions detailed below. And yes, we are happy to say that you can easily join Zoom meetings from a Microsoft Teams Room. Following the post many users asked whether the same process can be done from the other direction. Our last blog detailed the steps to join a Microsoft Teams meeting from Zoom Rooms.
