Integration with other communication platforms or your own Teams meetings

If you rather want to use other communication platforms such as Google Meet or Zoom for your pre-plannend meetings, when you organise a Microsoft Teams Live Event or when you want to add your own MS Teams URL's , then you need to add a custom URL to your original meeting. 

Follow the next steps:

• Go to the dashboard
• Select the event that you want to configure
• Go to 'meetings'
• Check whether you can find the meeting that you want to adapt in the meeting list
  If not: select 'add meeting'
• Open the meeting details by clicking on the meeting
• Go to 'custom meeting URL'
• Enable this option by sliding the button to the right
• Enter the URL of your meeting in the field below
• Press 'save'
  
  

!! Important: Using a MS Teams URL, please check that you insert the right URL. 

Once your meeting has been created, you can open the meeting appointment in your calendar. Right-click on "Click here to join the meeting" and select "copy hyperlink". 

When copying the meeting url in this way, your URL will have following format: 

CORRECT

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YzI3YjFjNy00MjE5LTg4OGItMjk1OTRhMmY2YzA5%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2249c3d703-3579-47bf-a888-7c913fbdced9%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2225d9f1c9-1072-4981-87f9-075befcf1a2f%22%7d

If you select 'open hyperlink' instead and then copy it from your webbrowser, you will have the wrong URL: 

INCORRECT
https://teams.microsoft.com/dl/launcher/launcher.html?url={meetingurl}&type=meetup-join&deeplinkId=fc89db47-9b1c-4d79-8805-95772aaaf406&directDl=true&msLaunch=true&enableMobilePage=true&suppressPrompt=true

!! Important: Utilizing Your Own MS Teams Meetings with the "In Thola Meeting Experience"

You have the flexibility to use custom Teams meetings from your own tenant, as explained in the preceding article. However, specific prerequisites must be met to ensure the seamless operation of our "In Thola Meeting Experience."

To grant Guests the ability to initiate a meeting, it is crucial that the meeting policy is configured as follows:
The explanation to create/change this meeting policy can be found inFollow the next steps in Office 365 Teams Admin

If these settings deviate from the specified configuration, a user will remain in the lobby until a Thola user, who is a part of the Tenant where the meeting was created, utilizes the Teams client. This action can be performed by clicking on the Teams logo within the header of our "In Thola Meeting Experience." Subsequently, this individual can initiate the meeting and/or admit participants who are still awaiting entry in the lobby.
