Live Meeting is the first fully hosted service within the new Microsoft Office System, which is scheduled to launch next month and is delivered by PlaceWare Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of. Dec 15, 2017  Microsoft Killing Live Meeting Service, Adding Skype for Business Mac Features. The good news pertains to Mac client users of Skype for Business Server 2015. Office Live Meeting is an. Microsoft Office Live Meeting is a discontinued commercial subscription-based web conferencing service operated by Microsoft.Live Meeting included software installed on client PCs and used a central server for all clients to connect to. Microsoft now produces Skype for Business which is an enterprise Unified Communications product, that can be rolled out either on-premises or in the cloud. Zoom is the leader in modern enterprise video communications, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars across mobile, desktop, and room systems. Zoom Rooms is the original software-based conference room solution used around the world in board, conference, huddle, and training rooms, as well as executive offices and classrooms. Founded in 2011.

Many teachers have thrown up their hands in frustration about the recent wave of 'Zoombombing' incidents on the Zoom video conference service and are looking for quick solutions elsewhere.

The New York school system made the decision even easier for them: banning the use of Zoom in the schools. (Elon Musk's Space X company and rival Google also asked employees to remove Zoom from company computers, citing security concerns.)

'I willno longer be able to use Zoom due to the security failure,' writes reader Caroline Pratte, a teacher from Quebec.

Troubles: Zoom issues: People hijacking streams, possible security flaws

Social network: Facebook rolls out standalone Messenger desktop app for Mac, Windows: How it compares

'I am searching for an alternative. For a primary teacher, the most interesting feature of Zoom is to see up to 25 people on the screen at the same time. Kids are missing friends so much, they want to SEE each other.'

Everything she's discovered, she notes, is 'always for business needs.'

What to do?

We have some ideas. Because, beyond the fine print, Zoom rivals actually have some sweetheart deals (as in free) for schools during the COVID-19 crisis.

Microsoft Teams

The software, which is aimed at enterprises, is free for schools, students and teachers who can sign up with their school IDs.

This week, Microsoft went out of its way to invite in educators, noting in a blog post that its privacy controls are designed to not allow for random people to join a meeting and start screaming obscenities or flash pornography, two of the charges that have dogged Zoom. (Those occurred, in part, because the presenter allowed for screen sharing and didn't require a password for entering the meeting.)

'You decide who from outside your organization can join your meetings directly, and who should wait in the lobby for someone to let them in,' Microsoft says. You can also remove participants during a meeting, designate 'presenters' and 'attendees,' and control which meeting participants can present content. 'Advanced artificial intelligence monitors chats to help prevent negative behaviors like bullying and harassment.'

As many as 250 people can be in a meeting.

To sign up for Teams for education, use this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/products/office. The cost to businesses signing up for Teams starts at $5 monthly per user, or $12.50 monthly to get Teams along with Outlook, Word, Excel and SharePoint.

Google Meet

The Google Meet app has consistently been in the top 10 of most downloaded smartphone apps since the COVID-19 crisis began, but for many people, it will be inoperable.

Meet is aimed at businesses and education to offer secure meeting space. Download the app, and you won't be able to do anything with it unless your school or business has signed up for the G Suite service, which is free for education, or $6 per person a month for enterprise.

Then, a new corporate or school ID will be issued to each participant. The presenter can choose who can attend each meeting, and who can live stream or record the session.

Google has waived fees on premium features like the ability to have as many as 250 people in a meeting and live streaming to as many as 100,000 people through September, because of the pandemic.

As many as 100 people can be in a meeting. Sign up here: https://edu.google.com/products/gsuite-for-education

Note: The Meet app is a different animal from the Google Hangouts app, which has no restrictions and is aimed at the general public. Although No. 43 on the iOS app chart, Google had hinted that it would phase out the app in 2020 in favor of the new Duo app, which also is aimed at basic video chatting. Duo is No. 12 in iOS. Neither applications are in the top 50 on the Google Play Android chart, but have come pre-loaded on Android phones. Duo essentially serves as a kind of FaceTime video chat option that can connect either the Android or iOS platform. FaceTime works only with Apple device users.

WebEx

The corporate solution, owned by networking giant Cisco, has opened up to a wider audience looking for a secure solution to Zoom with new free offerings.

Anyone can hold a meeting with WebEx with as many as 100 participants and meet as long as you want. (Zoom is free with a 40-minute limit and will allow you three sessions monthly.) Cisco says the free version of WebEx has advanced security such as the ability to lock and unlock the meeting room. For more advanced features, like encrypted meetings, the rate is $13.50 monthly, or $17.95 monthly with tech support.

However, WebEx has more steps involved than others to join. Once you set up the meeting, you grab the URL and share it. Then your participants will need to click it, then download the Cisco app if they're on a smartphone and enter their name and email before being allowed in. As an alternative to Zoombombing, though, these steps may be welcome.

Up to 100 people can attend the meeting. Sign up: https://www.webex.com/webexremoteedu.html

GoTo Meeting

The corporate entity Logmein is the owner of enterprise-based GoToMeeting, which has made the service available for free for the 'next 3 months.'

As many as 25 people can attend a 'class,' but if the teacher decides to teach it in the 'webinar' format instead, as many as 3,000 can attend. The webinar can be recorded to be viewed at a later date. Logmein says meetings have a 'security lock,' which means participants will have to wait to be let in when locked.

Finding additional information about security concerns on Logmein's website was a challenge, and attempts to reach press representatives for the company weren't answered by publication.

Monthly rates for enterprise customers start at $12.95 monthly for up to 150 participants.

Microsoft Teams has clients available for desktop (Windows, Mac, and Linux), web, and mobile (Android and iOS). These clients all require an active internet connection and do not support an offline mode.

Note

Effective November 29, 2018, you'll no longer be able to use the Microsoft Teams for Windows 10 S (Preview) app, available from the Microsoft Store. Instead, you can now download and install the Teams desktop client on devices running Windows 10 S mode. To download the desktop client, go to https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads. MSI builds of the Teams desktop client are not yet available for devices running Windows 10 S mode.

For more information about Windows 10 S mode, see Introducing Windows 10 in S mode.

Desktop client

Tip

Watch the following session to learn about the benefits of the Windows Desktop Client, how to plan for it, and how to deploy it: Teams Windows Desktop Client

The Microsoft Teams desktop client is a standalone application and is also available in Office 365 ProPlus. Teams is available for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows (8.1 or later) and Windows Server (2012 R2 or later), as well as for macOS (10.10 or later) and Linux (in .deb and .rpm formats). On Windows, Teams requires .NET Framework 4.5 or later; the Teams installer will offer to install it for you if you don't have it. On Linux, package managers such as apt and yum will try to install any requirements for you. However, if they don't then you will need to install any reported requirements before installing Teams on Linux.

The desktop clients provide real-time communications support (audio, video, and content sharing) for team meetings, group calling, and private one-on-one calls.

Desktop clients can be downloaded and installed by end users directly from https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads if they have the appropriate local permissions (admin rights are not required to install the Teams client on a PC but are required on a Mac).

IT admins can choose their preferred method to distribute the installation files to computers in their organization. Some examples include Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (Windows) or Jamf Pro (macOS). To get the MSI package for Windows distribution, see Install Microsoft Teams using MSI.

Note

Distribution of the client via these mechanisms is only for the initial installation of Microsoft Team clients and not for future updates.

Windows

The Microsoft Teams installation for Windows provides downloadable installers in 32-bit and 64-bit architecture.

Office Live Meeting Client

Note

Office

The architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit) of Microsoft Teams is agnostic to the architecture of Windows and Office that is installed.

The Windows client is deployed to the AppData folder located in the user’s profile. Deploying to the user’s local profile allows the client to be installed without requiring elevated rights. The Windows client leverages the following locations:

  • %LocalAppData%MicrosoftTeams

  • %LocalAppData%MicrosoftTeamsMeetingAddin

  • %AppData%MicrosoftTeams

  • %LocalAppData%SquirrelTemp

When users initiate a call using the Microsoft Teams client for the first time, they might notice a warning with the Windows firewall settings that asks for users to allow communication. Users might be instructed to ignore this message because the call will work, even when the warning is dismissed.

Note

Windows Firewall configuration will be altered even when the prompt is dismissed by selecting “Cancel”. Two inbound rules for teams.exe will be created with Block action for both TCP and UDP protocols.

Mac

Mac users can install Teams by using a PKG installation file for macOS computers. Administrative access is required to install the Mac client. The macOS client is installed to the /Applications folder.

Install Teams by using the PKG file

  1. From the Teams download page, under Mac, click Download.
  2. Double click the PKG file.
  3. Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation.
  4. Teams will be installed to /Applications folder. It is a machine-wide installation.

Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007

Note

During the installation, the PKG will prompt for admin credentials. The user needs to enter the admin credentials, regardless of whether or not the user is an admin.

If a user currently has a DMG installation of Teams and wants to replace it with the PKG installation, the user should:

  1. Exit the Teams app.
  2. Uninstall the Teams app.
  3. Install the PKG file.

IT admins can use managed deployment of Teams to distribute the installation files to all Macs in their organization, such as Jamf Pro.

Note

If you experience issues installing the PKG, let us know. In the Feedback section at the end of this article, click Product feedback.

Linux

Users will be able to install native Linux packages in .deb and .rpm formats.Installing the DEB or RPM package will automatically install the package repository

  • DEB https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams stable main
  • RPM https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/ms-teams

The signing key to enable auto-updating using the system's package manager is installed automatically. However, it can also be found at: (https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc). Microsoft Teams ships monthly and if the repository was installed correctly, then your system package manager should handle auto-updating in the same way as other packages on the system.

Note

If you find a bug, submit it using Report a Problem from within the client. For known issues, see Known Issues.For Teams for Linux support you can use the Linux forum support channel on Microsoft Q&A. Be sure to use the teams-linux tag when posting questions.

Web client

Microsoft

The web client (https://teams.microsoft.com) is a full, functional client that can be used from a variety of browsers. The web client supports Calling and Meetings by using webRTC, so there is no plug-in or download required to run Teams in a web browser. The browser must be configured to allow third-party cookies.

Teams fully supports the following Internet browsers, with noted exceptions for calling and meetings.

Safari is enabled on versions higher than 11.1 in preview. While in preview, there are known issues with Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention.

1 To give and take control of shared content during sharing, both parties must be using the Teams desktop client. Control isn't supported when either party is running Teams in a browser. This is due to a technical limitation that we're planning to fix. To learn more, read Allow a participant to give or request control.

2 Blur my background isn't available when you run Teams in a browser. This feature is only available in the Teams desktop client.

Note

As long as an operating system can run the supported browser, Teams is supported. For example, running Firefox on the Linux operating system is an option for using Teams.

The web client performs browser version detection upon connecting to https://teams.microsoft.com. If an unsupported browser version is detected, it will block access to the web interface and recommend that the user download the desktop client or mobile app.

Mobile clients

The Microsoft Teams mobile apps are available for Android and iOS, and are geared for on-the-go users participating in chat-based conversations and allow peer-to-peer audio calls. For mobile apps, go to the relevant mobile stores Google Play and the Apple App Store. The Windows Phone App was retired July 20, 2018 and may no longer work.

In China, here's how to get Teams for Android.

Supported mobile platforms for Microsoft Teams mobile apps are the following:

  • Android: Support is limited to the last four major versions of Android. When a new major version of Android is released, the new version and the previous three versions are officially supported.

  • iOS: Support is limited to the two most recent major versions of iOS. When a new major version of iOS is released, the new version of iOS and the previous version are officially supported.

Note

The mobile version must be available to the public in order for Teams to work as expected.

Mobile apps are distributed and updated through the respective mobile platform’s app store only. Distribution of the mobile apps via MDM or side-loading is not supported by Microsoft. Once the mobile app has been installed on a supported mobile platform, the Teams Mobile App itself will be supported provided the version is within three months of the current release.

Decision PointAre there any restrictions preventing users from installing the appropriate Microsoft Teams client on their devices?
Next StepsIf your organization restricts software installation, make sure that process is compatible with Microsoft Teams. Note: Admin rights are not required for PC client installation but are required for installation on a Mac.

Client update management

Clients are currently updated automatically by the Microsoft Teams service with no IT administrator intervention required. If an update is available, the client will automatically download the update and when the app has idled for a period of time, the update process will begin.

Client-side configurations

Currently, there are no supported options available to configure the client either through the tenant admin, PowerShell, Group Policy Objects or the registry.

Notification settings

There are currently no options available for IT administrators to configure client-side notification settings. All notification options are set by the user. The figure below outlines the default client settings.

Sample PowerShell Script

This sample script, which needs to run on client computers in the context of an elevated administrator account, will create a new inbound firewall rule for each user folder found in c:users. When Teams finds this rule, it will prevent the Teams application from prompting users to create firewall rules when the users make their first call from Teams.
