How to

  • Inviting a Microsoft Teams Room to a new meeting

    Important inforomation for Investec London only: 
    • You need to contact the booking hub on UKBookingHub@investec.co.uk
    • Once your room is confirmed by the booking hub, use  Outlook to invite the MTR to the meeting

     

    For all rooms: 

    • Open Outlook and go to your calendar.
    • Either select New Meeting, then Teams Meeting or select New Teams Meeting.
    • Search for the MTR by name or email address to invite as an attendee. For example: 
      • London 30GS 5W5 or LONMTR5W5@investec.com
      • Johannesburg 4M2 or JHBMTR4M2@investec.com
    • Alternatively, select the relevant MTR from the ‘Room Finder’ function in your calendar by searching for it by building and floor. For example:
      • London 30GS 5th Floor 5W5
      • Durban 2nd Floor 2M5
    • Complete the meeting invitation as you would for any other meeting before sending.

  • Joining a scheduled meeting from the touch panel

    If the MTR has been invited to a meeting and the invite accepted (by the calendar), the touch panel will display the list of scheduled meetings:

    • Click on Join to connect to the meeting
    • You may need to click on Calendar (Cisco rooms) to view the Invites and then Join

    If a scheduled meeting doesn’t appear on the touch panel, you will need to invite the MTR:

    • You can either forward the meeting invite to the MTR or a remote participant already in the meeting can add the MTR by name and you can accept the call on the touch panel.

  • Making an unscheduled MS Teams call from a MTR

    • On the touch panel, select ‘Meet now’.
    • Type the name of the colleague (or multiple colleagues) you wish to call in the input bar and select invite
      (Please note that you cannot currently call someone on their landline or mobile phone).
    • If you have an existing invite, you can ‘Join with meeting ID’ by pressing ‘more’ and select ‘Join with Meeting ID’ and enter the Meeting ID.
    • Or press the ‘Join Teams’ (Cisco rooms) and enter the ‘Video Conference ID’ in your MS Teams invite – if there is no ‘Video Conference ID’ section in the invite, the invitee does not allow Cisco to connect to MS Teams meetings.
