Issue
I want to join a Microsoft Teams meeting by dialing in on my personal phone. How do I do that?
Resolution
The instructions below apply only to external (non-UM) hosted Teams meetings/calls. Dial-in/dial-out features are not available in U-M Microsoft Teams.
- You need to first confirm with the host that they have a dial-in license to allow users to call into their meetings.
- Dial 1 906-256-0519 (this number is not toll-free) - Other available numbers, depending on location, are listed on Microsoft's website.
- You will be prompted to enter the Conference ID.
- In a Google Calendar event with a Microsoft Teams meeting, the conference ID will be listed.
- If you do not know your conference ID, consult the meeting host (the host can find the conference ID by going to More Actions > Meeting Details while in the meeting).
- The call will prompt, "If you’re the meeting organizer, press star." Since you are not the host, you can skip this step and wait for the next prompt.
- You will be prompted to record your name and press the pound (#) key. This will let the host know who you are when you enter.
- You will hear "Please wait for the leader to admit you to the meeting," followed by music if a waiting room is turned on for the meeting.
- You will hear "You’re now joining the meeting" once admitted.
Note: Dial-in hosts are not prompted when a new user joins their meeting. If the lobby is turned on and there are no other hosts, they cannot admit individuals waiting in the lobby.
Additional Information
Important: As of November 30, 2023, audioconferencing dial-in licensing is no longer available in U-M Microsoft Teams.
