  2. Invite users. Note that there is a number that users can call with their phones to join. (Number may not be the same as this example)

    Invite Internal Users here. There is a number that is located in the invite message which they can dial if they would like to use their phone instead

  3. Join the meeting by clicking on the meeting within your calendar, then the Join Teams Meeting button.
  4. Once in the meeting, click the View Participants button located to the left of the Hang-up button.
