Accessing the Microsoft Teams App
Before you can join a meeting, you'll need the Microsoft Teams app installed on your iPad. If you haven't already, download it from the App Store. Make sure you're signed in with the correct account associated with your meeting invitation.
Step 1: Launching the Teams App
Locate the Microsoft Teams icon on your iPad's home screen and tap it to open the application.
Joining a Meeting Using a Meeting Code
Once the app is open and you're signed in, here's how to join a meeting using the provided meeting code:
Step 2: Locating the "Join a Meeting" Option
At the bottom of the Teams screen, you should see several options. Look for a button or icon that says something like "Join a meeting" or similar. It might be represented by a person's silhouette or a video camera icon. Tap this option.
Step 3: Entering the Meeting Code
You'll now be presented with a field where you can enter the meeting code. Carefully type the code provided in your meeting invitation. Double-check for accuracy to avoid any issues joining the meeting.
Step 4: Joining the Meeting
After you've entered the code, tap the "Join" button. The app will attempt to connect you to the meeting.
Step 5: Granting Permissions (If Necessary)
Your iPad might request permission to access your microphone and camera. Grant these permissions to participate fully in the meeting – including audio and video.

Once connected, you'll see the meeting interface. You can use the controls to mute/unmute your microphone, turn your camera on/off, and participate in the conversation.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Incorrect Meeting Code: Double-check the meeting code for any typos. A single incorrect character can prevent you from joining.
