Configuration for Microsoft Teams
You only need to complete the steps in this section if your want to use Microsoft Teams with the GroupWise Video Conferencing Add-on. If you are not going to use Microsoft Teams, then you can skip this section.
Important
You will need a login with Global Administrator privileges to your organisation's Tenant Account account on Azure Active Directory before you can proceed with setting up Microsoft Teams for use with the GroupWise Video Conferencing Add-on. If you do not have access with administrator privileges, you need to contact your Azure Active Directory Tenant Administrator to perform these steps on your behalf else you will not be able to use Microsoft Teams with the Add-on.
The way the Add-on integrates with Microsoft Teams does not require you to have an Exchange Online Mailbox. You will however need to have at least a Microsoft Windows 365 Tenant set up even if there is no Windows 365 license subscriptions assigned to the users. We often find that users are subscribed to the Windows 365 Apps without Exchange Online. It is recommended that user accounts to Windows 365 are synchronised via Microsoft's ADConnect or NetIQ's Identity Manager to the Azure Active Directory platform to simplify user administration.
About MS Teams Calendar
As GroupWise is used for the scheduling of meetings with Microsoft Teams, the calendar in MS Teams will not be available. That calendar is only available if you are using MS Teams with Exchange Online or Exchange On-Premise.
Important
As from 19th April 2023 the free MS Teams Exploratory License will no longer be available for some tenants on Windows 365. If it is no longer available, you need to purchase the MS Teams Essentials subscription to continue to use MS Teams. You do not need to purchase the a full E1, E3 or E5 license to use MS Teams. Before assigning the MS Teams Essentials license to users individually, rather create a security group on Windows 365 and assign the license to the group, and make users that need to use the license members of this group. Also DISABLE the "Exchange Online Kiosk" service on the license.
