Since recently, I can add a call-in phone number to Microsoft Teams meetings. For new meetings, this works fine. But I have a meeting with a large number of customers for which I sent the invitation before I had the phone number. So currently, there is no phone number to call in to that meeting. How can I add one, without cancelling the old meeting and creating a new one?
What I tried without success so far:
Using a number from another meeting (seem to be different "rooms")
Deleting the link block by hand and trying to add a new one (not possible, the button still says "join the meeting")
Trying to find out whether the numeric meeting ID can be derived from the one in the link
You can add phone number to the meeting using Update online meeting API. You can get the meeting Id by subcribing to notification API please check the docs for more info.

I want to create an app for Microsoft Teams that, after installed and approved by the user, is always 'added' to all meetings and group conversations. Is that possible? The documentation from Microsoft is not clear about it.
The app is meant to get notifications from the meeting - someone has joined, recording has started, meeting has ended, etc.
Currently, We are adding the custom teams app manually.
Ref doc :-https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/blob/main/msteams-platform/apps-in-teams-meetings/enable-and-configure-your-app-for-teams-meetings.md
We do not have API to add the app to all meetings.
At the moment, it has to be a two step process. First, create the meeting using Graph and then add the app to the meeting using Graph.
Could you please raise a user voice here for new requirement:

Currently I'm able to create a teams meeting using Power Automate Flow.
However, the meeting still needs to be started by the creator of the meeting.
How to sort of "auto-start" the meeting so all that access the meeting can
use the meeting link without waiting the creator to start the meeting?
Assuming meeting participants are either guest users or users from other organization, so they are not able to start the meeting directly and meeting creator has to admit them in lobby after starting the meeting.
Meeting creator can set who can bypass the lobby. Go to "Meeting options" inside created meeting, and select appropriate option in "Who can bypass the lobby?"
Pass lobbybypasssettings parameter while creating Graph request for creating meeting.

I have somewhat of a unique use case where my team needs a 24-hour conference bridge. To keep the Teams chat threads from getting too long, I currently re-create the conference bridge via a Flow once each month. The Flow creates a new meeting invitation and posts an adaptive card with a "join" button that has a direct link into the current meeting.
One feature we're missing from the "meet now" or "schedule a meeting" feature in our team channel is the faces of the people that are currently present in the meeting. Is it possible to recreate this via the adaptive card? Or, is there another way for me change to flow to maybe post a "meet now" message once per month instead of a custom adaptive card?
Please let me know if you want some more detail or if my request doesn't make sense for some reason.
Thanks ahead of time!
You can create a deeplink to schedule a meeting using
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meeting/new?subject=<meeting subject>&startTime=<date>&endTime=<date>&content=<content>&attendees=<user1>,<user2>,<user3>,...
and you can specify this as the URL target in your card's button or tap action through the openUrl action type. For more details please go through the documentation.
I have developed a Microsoft Teams app, and I'm using 'deep linking' to create named chats (chats with topic names) with selected users, as per the docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-links#deep-linking-to-a-chat
An example of a 'deep link' to create a chat would be:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=joe#contoso.com,bob#contoso.com,dave#contoso.com&topicName=Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow&message=Hi%20folks%2C%20kicking%20off%20a%20chat%20about%20our%20meeting%20tomorrow
This works fine - and if I save the portion of the link minus the 'message' portion, this again works fine, and links the user to the existing chat:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?users=joe#contoso.com,bob#contoso.com,dave#contoso.com&topicName=Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow
However, if another user is added to the chat from inside Teams itself, the link above will not link to the existing chat any more, rather create a brand new chat instance with the same topicName and originally specified users.
Is there a way of 'deep linking' to a chat by it's topicName or some kind of ID only? Without having to get clever with the Microsoft Graph API?
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/chat/0/0?Prep%20For%20Meeting%20Tomorrow
just links to the chat 'home screen', where a user can start a new chat through Teams
I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't achieve this directly. As soon as you add a new person, it's no longer the "same" chat, so to speak (e.g. a chat with "Joe, Bob and Dave" is NOT the same as a chat with "Joe, Bob, Dave and Sue". The two ways I can think of that you can achieve what you're looking for though, are:
create a Meeting with that subject - the "meeting" chat seems to hang around forever, it has a title, and you can modify participants, even after the "meeting" is over.
Alternative to the above, if there's an ongoing initiative, maybe it's just better as an actual Team or Channel anyway...?
I came here looking a solution to this same requirement.. a link that others can click on to dial into a normal MS Teams (multi-person) chat. I want to include this in my meeting invites in the case where I initially created the chat group manually within MS Teams (not originally via meeting invite).
I opened the chat in MS Teams Web (in my browser) to get the unique conversation identifier and then replaced that portion in a sample link that I would typically find in meeting invites. I also removed the context parameter. When I followed the resulting link in my browser it launched my MS Teams desktop application and joined the chat group meeting. An illustrative sample link is below:
https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/*19:1235774810bf4d7086ada8e13c7c6c8a#thread.v2/0*
The portion "19:1235774810bf4d7086ada8e13c7c6c8a#thread.v2/0" is what I replaced.
And there is no need for something like "?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22c9b9cb50-3544-4db4-a267-fa84df2f4ceb%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22663db54f-657a-407d-8a0b-45c76d8cdffd%22%7d" at the end either. I'm not sure what will happen if someone uses this link who has not been added to the chat by me though. You'll have to test that if that is a requirement.
I am specifically interested in the OUTLOOK Meeting information and
NOT ONLINE MEETING.
Can I GET the outlook calendar meetings (along with its details: time, subject, location, attendees, etc) using UCWA.
I asked about the same on UCWA forum of MSDN, and came to know that it isn't possible via UCWA.
However, this raises another question:
As a Lync user, if I hover my mouse over a contact who's busy in a meeting, then it shows the time until when he/she is busy, for example "Busy until 2 p.m.".
How is Lync fetching this outlook meetings information and displaying the output as per the meeting time. How does this mechanism work?
Lync/Skype for Business clients are making requests via Outlook APIs to grab non-online-meeting events to display that data. You would need to design your application to sign-in to their Outlook account and make use the available Outlook APIs to get all the meetings/appointments that are not present in Lync/Skype.
