How to Join a Meeting via a Link?

If you received an email invitation to a Microsoft Teams meeting, you can join directly via the link, even if you do not have the application installed.

Step 1: Confirm Your Attendance

In the invitation email you received, select Yes (see Fig. 1). This will automatically add the meeting to your calendar, and the system will provide a reminder.
