Given that I specialise in Microsoft’s Modern Workplace solutions (which the title of this article probably gave away), I start with the assumption that you are using Microsoft Teams as your core collaboration and communication platform. But what about joining another online provider’s meeting from my own meeting rooms? And if we add in the still common requirement to interoperate with both standards-based SIP\H.323 endpoints and any one of the various online platforms, how do I support these use cases? What technologies are out there that would achieve this, and with what advantages or limitations? Interop solutions for Teams-based organisations

When using any one of these online meeting platforms, at least for users joining from a PC, the experience might be disjointed but it’s typically straight forward: click a link, join from a browser, or be directed to install a client that will allow a user to join a meeting as a guest. These cloud based solutions were borne out of necessity: SIP & H.323 protocols have been around for decades, and if meetings providers were to innovate, it made sense to develop online, web based platforms (Microsoft Teams, Zoom and WebEx for example) that left limitations of traditional protocols behind and allowed for the development of a much more feature rich and dynamic offering. Aside from Skype for Business SIP and “standards based” SIP\H.323 (Cisco, Lifesize, Polycom) endpoints still in use by many organisations, we now also have a wide array of web-based, proprietary platforms which, on their own, provide great features and capabilities, but don’t necessarily make it easy to interop with each other. We no longer only have SIP or H.323 environments to take into account when planning for interop. Today however, things are somewhat more “involved”. It was then possible to deploy some sort of middleware in between (Polycom, Acano, Pexip), allowing endpoints from each disparate environment to call between and join meetings on the other. Sure, it may have been a specific flavour of one of these protocols (Skype for Business SIP for example), but interop typically consisted of having a SIP environment on one side and H.323 on the other. If wo go back a few years to a pre-Teams world, VC interop was typically between two camps (well, protocols): SIP and H.323. How do I achieve this? Where We’ve Come From Whilst the breadth of Teams native devices for meeting rooms provides a great meeting experience, we of course may still require some sort of interop with other meeting providers in order to meet an organisation’s specific use cases.

There are a number of devices available that fall into the Teams “native” category, meaning that they each run Microsoft Teams software and sign into Teams without any sort of third-party gateway or interop service: In addition to joining meetings from the Teams desktop, web or mobile client, Microsoft Teams also supports a range of devices that extend the Teams meeting experience into your meeting rooms. Built on cloud first, “hyper-scale” technologies that actually originated from the Skype consumer world (as opposed to Skype for Business\Lync), you will have no doubt have noticed that the media stack within Teams provides an improved meeting experience and feature set than what was possible with Skype for Business. WebRTC only supports a single screen.If you’re using Microsoft Teams, you’re no doubt aware that it provides a powerful platform for online meetings. There are some limitations with WebRTC:Ī meeting participant list is available, but without the ability to manage the meeting lobby WebRTC uses the webengine on modern Cisco devices such as the Room, Board, and Desk series. The device will automatically launch the WebRTC browser allowing you to join with One Button to Push. In the event an external organization does not have VIMT, you can still use your Cisco device to join an external Microsoft Teams meeting.
