Using Microsoft Teams Meetings with Remote Desktop (RDS)

1. First, sign in Remote Desktop (RDS) using these instructions: Nexus Remote Desktop (RDS) Documentation (nexus-yfs.org)
2. Once you are signed in to Remote Desktop (RDS), open Outlook.
3. In Outlook, check your calendar to see if the Teams meeting you'd like to join is already scheduled. If it is already scheduled, proceed to step 4.

     If it is not yet scheduled, and you are the one scheduling it, schedule the meeting:
      A. Within Outlook app click Calendar  on the left
      B. Then click New Teams Meeting at top
            
      C. Click Meeting Options


D. Change Who can bypass the lobby to Everyone


Scroll down and click Save


E. Fill in the required details. Under the optional field, include your personal email address.

E.Right-click the Click to join meeting link and select Copy Hyperlink. Send or Save the meeting.


4. If you have not yet right-clicked and copied the hyperlink for the meeting do so now.
5. You will need to join from outside Remote Desktop (RDS) for your webcam or microphone to work. Minimize remote access (dash in top right, may have to tap Esc key or click grey dash in middle).
  
6. Paste the hyperlink you copied in to Edge, Chrome, or another browser. Alternatively, open the link in the meeting invite that was sent to your personal email, if you entered it in the optional field.
7. If given the option, join from browser. Do not attempt to sign in to your Nexus account from outside the remote desktop.
8. Even if you set the bypass the lobby to Everyone, you might still get stuck in lobby. You can go to back to the remote desktop and join the meeting to allow yourself in the from the lobby.
