Last Updated on July 1, by GrahamWalsh. Microsoft has made it very simple, they have a Meeting Room license that includes all you need for an MTR. It is essentially an E5 license without the Office Apps.

However many organisations different setups in terms of Skype for Business and Exchange. The good news is that Microsoft Teams is always in the cloud. So if we start out with Microsoft Teams.

This is available for free, as there is free Microsoft Teams for users in organisations with less than users. Microsoft Teams is also included with most plans when you are on a paid subscription. But can you sign into an MTR with a free Teams license account? Well, of course, you can. It just works. However, when using this account, you cannot fall back to Skype for Business and you get an annoying banner like below, as there is no Teams only mode on the MTR.

So if you have Skype for Business , you can be online, hybrid or on-premises. Why might you need this? The MTR can be used for both at the same time as I discussed here in a previous post. Then we move onto Microsoft Exchange. This is the final piece of the jigsaw to make an MTR work as it should.

It will provide that Join button on the home screen so users can simply press Join to start their meeting. If you are signing in with the free version of Microsoft Teams, remember there is no mailbox there. Resource Mailboxes are free and do not require an Exchange license.

However, the mailbox must have a password set on it with an Active Directory or Azure Active Directory account. So the Phone System license previously Cloud PBX allows you to make and receive calls internally, makes the device a phone.

However, it does not give it external PSTN dial tone, you will need to add on a calling plan for that or use Direct Routing. The Audio Conferencing licensing provides the ability to dial into a Microsoft Teams meeting. You can also check which region these are available in from this site on the Microsoft docs site. So how do you set this up with these five licenses?

I have documented that here in a blog post, based on everything being in Office Well, of course, you can assign them one of these licenses if you have some spare or want to do some testing. What you must not do is assign the meeting room an Office Business license as this is just Office Apps and no Skype or Teams licensing. So that is it, licensing made simple for Microsoft Teams Room systems. Feel free to add any comments below. Read our privacy policy for more info.
