Quick Answer
Yes. Zoom Interop for Microsoft Teams lets you join Teams meetings from Zoom Rooms for Windows/macOS and Android/iOS devices, as well as Zoom Rooms Appliances like video bars. You install the Microsoft Teams app from the Zoom App Marketplace, enable third-party video conferencing for Zoom Rooms, and invite the Zoom Room to the Teams meeting via calendar invitation.
With video conferencing, platform flexibility is very important — it helps you maximize your investment and meet customers and collaborators where they are with minimum friction.
Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams are both among the most popular video conferencing platforms, and it’d be nice to have access to both without investing in two separate systems. Can you use Zoom Rooms video conferencing equipment in Microsoft Teams meetings? Yes.
What Is Zoom Interop for Microsoft Teams?
Zoom Interop for Microsoft Teams is a method of joining Teams meetings from Zoom Rooms for Windows/macOS and Android/iOS devices, as well as Zoom Rooms Appliances like video bars. You can also use Zoom Phone and Zoom Whiteboard for Microsoft Teams.
Getting started: download the Microsoft Teams app from the Zoom App Marketplace (external link). You’ll then accept the permissions and be redirected to your Microsoft Teams account, where you have to enable permissions and add the Zoom account to a Team.
Enable third-party video conferencing for Zoom Rooms next. For complete instructions, visit Using Zoom Interop for Microsoft Teams in Zoom Rooms on the Zoom Support site (external link).
Joining a meeting: you can invite a Zoom Room to a Teams meeting via calendar invitation. Once the Zoom end has been invited, the meeting shows up in the schedule, and you can join it like any other meeting — you’ll be able to do most in-meeting things like start/stop video and share content.
What Are the Limitations of Zoom Interop?
On the Zoom Rooms end: the Zoom Room can only use one camera, one microphone, and one speaker during a call. If you have a multi-device system, the wrong camera, mic, or speaker might be automatically used and cannot be changed — and the Teams meeting won’t show on more than one display.
On the Teams end: you can’t use Zoom Interop with free or government Teams accounts. You’ll need to allow anonymous participants, and you might also need to configure firewall settings.
