Updated May 16, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: Meeting organizers and schedulers will be able to add CVI (Cloud Video Interop) coordinates to Teams town hall and webinar meeting invitations. With CVI coordinates in invitations, non-Teams users—such as external customers or partners—can easily join town hall and webinar meetings using a third-party teleconferencing device. This message applies to Teams on Windows desktop, Teams on Mac desktop, and Teams on the web.
CVI is a Microsoft Qualified third-party solution that enables third-party SIP and H.323 video room devices (VTCs) to join Microsoft Teams meetings. As an admin, you can set CVI for your org. Learn more: Manage and set up Cloud Video Interop for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn
