You don't need a Microsoft Teams account to join a meeting — the organizer just needs to add your email as a participant, and you can join as a guest. (Some meetings don't allow guests.)

Desktop

1. In the meeting invite, select Join Microsoft Teams Meeting.
2. On the page that opens, choose Download the Windows app or Join on the web instead (Edge or Chrome). Allow mic/camera access when prompted.
3. Enter your name and choose your audio/video settings, then select Join now.
4. You'll enter the meeting lobby; the organizer is notified and can admit you.

If no one admits you within 15 minutes, you'll be removed from the lobby — you can try joining again. Some meeting features aren't available to guests.

If you're the organizer: you'll be alerted when someone is waiting. Select Admit to let them straight in, or View lobby to see everyone waiting and admit or deny individually.

Mobile

1. In the meeting invite, select Join Microsoft Teams Meeting.
2. If you don't have the Teams app, you'll be taken to your app store to install it.
3. Open the app — on Android, open it directly from the store page; on iOS, tap the meeting link again. Allow mic access when prompted.
4. Choose Join as a guest.
5. Type your name and tap Join meeting.
6. Depending on how the meeting was set up, you may join immediately, or be asked to sign in with a specific account (for example, a school or conference-authorized account).

Once in the meeting, tap the center of the screen to show or hide meeting controls, including your video and mic toggles.
