Alice clicks the Join Skype Meeting link in the invite and installs the Skype Web App.Alice does not have Skype for Business installed on her PC, nor does she have local Administrative Rights on her machine.Garth is wondering if is there a need to tell Alice what she needs to do to join the meeting? Let’s see what happens. What about a headset, how will Alice be able to join with Audio into the Skype Meeting?.Does she have local administrator rights on her machine to do so?.Can Alice download and install the Skype Web App on her PC?.If not, how would she be able to join the meeting.However, Garth is now is wondering how Alice can join his meeting. Garth schedules the meeting in his Outlook client and adds the Skype Meeting into the invite, and Alice accepts the meeting invite. Remember Garth from our training on Tenant Dial Plans? Garth is with Contoso, and he is scheduling a Skype meeting with his customer Alice. Let’s walk through a scenario to cover the entire meeting join experience and improvements end-to-end.

We have worked hard to make improvements to this process, I am happy to share details on these improvements that will be live for all our Office 365 customers middle of April 2017: We heard you that joining online meetings for external participants was too complicated.
