Join Teams work meetings from Microsoft Teams (free) and vice versa

on
Microsoft Teams (Free) users can currently join Teams for work (or school) meetings only as guests, which requires them to use a browser and results in a sub-optimal experience. The new feature rolling out will allow these users to join Teams for work (or school) meetings in one click, without being redirected to the browser or asked to fill in their name/surname. They will also be able to continue collaborating with the meeting organizer and other participants via meeting chat after the meeting.  The feature will work in the opposite way as well, so Teams for work (or school) will just as easily be able to join meetings hosted by a Teams Free user with one click.

Ok, So I have the basics up and running, but is it working? Aperantly, yes.
Front end and backend now run without errormessages, and I can chat, call and use livemeeting on all the clients.

I decided not spend to much time on running around, installing applications, so I am using AD Group policies to deploy the applications. Here is a quick rundown of what I did:

Livemeeting:
  • Download software from www.livemeeting.com (Remember to download both client and outlook plugin)
  • Convert exe files to .msi files by running "LMsetup.exe -out c:\temp" (presuming c:\temp exists)
  • Create a GPO for distribution (Assign or publish, Computer or User - It depends on your preference)
  • Create Groups for filtering of the GPO
  • Add objects to the groups
  • Remove "authenticated users" from the filtering, add the desired group.
Attendant:
The attendant setup file I downloaded was already a .msi file, so no conversion was needed. Other than that, just repeat the steps from above.
