Join a meeting without an account in Microsoft Teams

To join a Teams meeting without signing into an account: 

1. Open the meeting invite and select the link next to Join, or Click here to join the meeting.

2. When prompted, select Continue on this browser or Join on the Teams app. You don't need to install the Teams app to join the meeting. 

   • You can join Teams for web on Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. You may be prompted to give Teams access to your mic and camera. When you select Allow, you can always turn off your mic and camera once you join the meeting. 

3. Select Join now.

   Tip: Join the meeting before it starts to test your setup from the pre-join screen. From there, you can enter the meeting up to 15 minutes before its start time to troubleshoot or see how Teams works. Meeting participants and organizers will be notified when you enter the meeting.

4. If you enter the meeting lobby, wait for someone in the meeting to admit you. If no one admits you within 30 minutes, you'll be removed from the lobby. If that happens, you can try rejoining.

Once you're in the meeting, everyone will see an Unverified label with your name. People who are signed in will have access to more meeting features than those who aren't signed in.​​​​​​​

Organizer's view

If you're the meeting organizer, we'll alert you when someone is waiting in the lobby.

Select Admit to let them right into the meeting, or View lobby to see a list of everyone in the lobby and admit or deny them. 

Note: Anyone who joins the meeting and doesn't have a Teams account will be labeled Unverified. Learn more about people with guest access: Work with external guests
