Join Zoom meeting from Skype Room System v2

Hi there,

 

Trying to join a Zoom meeting from Skype Room System V2. We can join the meeting using the SfB client or on a Polycom Trio signed in with a skype account. We do so by dialing:

 

4105555555@lync.zoom.us

 

However, on SRS v2 the dial pad only supports numeric input. Is this something we can enable, or that might be available in future updates?

  • No, the Dial Pad is only used for placing PSTN-based telephony calls.

      You may not have Skype federation available in the environment that the MTR is registered to.

      Does anyone know where this functionality is documented?  It seems that MTR functionality is a bit trial and error rather than being able to find the features clearly explained somewhere.  Is there integration for any conferencing solutions other than Zoom?

        It is not documented as connecting to other platforms in this way is likely not officially supported.

    Isn't this just a federated call that you call via the New Meeting button? You must be able to enter numbers to federated SIP addresses and hence just type this in and add the user to the Invite list … basically make a point to point call into the Zoom conference.

      Jed Ellerby I just tested this again to verify and I see what the newer behavior is.

       

      If the device is in Skype Only or Skype (default) + Teams mode you can select the New Meeting button and then using the on-screen keyboard enter a SIP URI (e.g. 12345678@lync.zoom.us) and then federated presence will appear along with an 'Invite' button.  While it appears that the device is attempting to invite that SIP URI to a new meetingon the bridge it actually performs a peer call.  This will successfully connect into the Zoom meeting.

      If the device is in Skype + Teams (default) mode then after selecting New Meeting you need to select the 'Enter URL' button which will flip the device from Teams to Skype mode (as indicated by the theme changing from purple to blue) and then function the same as described above.

       

      In both of these calls video can content sharing works.

       

      I suppose if the device was registered using an account only active in Teams, meaning it was not enabled for SfB Online or SfB Server then this will fail as Teams cannot place the federated SIP call natively.

        Federated calls from Teams to on prem SfB seems to be working now (we saw it rolled out this week to our tenant) so I tried calling Zoom from MTR using Teams mode, and it worked fine! I don't have a Zoom meeting test so couldn't do much more than entering invalid digits and #, but it did respond and accept it had an invalid meeting PIN.

      Hi Jed, 

       

      Yes, it's possible to use SRS v2 to dial in to a Zoom meeting via PSTN, but we lose video and screenshare functionality that Zoom worked hard to integrate with Skype. ATC-only is not an option for most of our calls.

  • No, the Dial Pad is only used for placing PSTN-based telephony calls.

      Thanks Jeff - hope to see this functionality in a future update.
