Any Competenz employee can invite anybody with an email address to a MS Teams meeting. This includes users who Competenz have business dealings with or simply general external users who only have a Gmail address.


The MS Teams meeting invite will need to be created by a Competenz employee first and sent out to the external employee. This will be done by the Competenz employee MS Outlook Calendar Teams invite.


To access the meeting as an external user (non Competenz employee) follow the steps below.


1.  Find the email inviting you to the online meeting. Click the "Join Microsoft Teams Meeting" button.



2.  The link in the email will open the default browser on your computer. If you have the Teams application installed, you may use the "Launch it now" button. Otherwise, click the "Join on the web instead".




NOTE: Some browsers are not capable of joining a Teams meeting. Please use either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome for the full experience. 

Additionally, users may "Download the Windows app" or Mac app if they do not have Edge or Chrome.



3.  After clicking the Join on the web button, a new tab will appear with some basic connection instructions. Click the "Allow" button to let Teams access your microphone and camera.



 


4.  After allowing Teams access to your camera and microphone, you should now see a page with a name entry box and device options. Please enter your name and hit "Join now" If you do not see your camera, or it is the wrong camera, please select the "Devices" button to choose the correct microphone or camera





Selecting the Join now button will automatically send you into the meeting. Please reach out to us if you need further help joining or creating your meeting.
