Person A is from different organisation than Persons B and C. Person C wants to join this meeting in Room D. So they forward the email invite (in outlook) to Room D. Meeting does not appear in calendar in Room D. Are meeting guests permitted to forward invites to Teams Rooms? And what if the Persons B and C want to add their own Room D - can they do this at all? Or can this only be done by the meeting host? Thanks Hi Heath_B_AU, Thanks for reaching out!

Thanks Hello! I'm Maria, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft prod...

Hi, I sent a video invitation to an external user. I've done this before and the call happened fine. This time a different user, when they clicked on the 'join now' option saw an error message that said: Only people with access to this org can join its meetings If you have an account with access to this org, sign in with that account.
