Apple CarPlay now supports Calendar View to Join Microsoft Teams Meeting

AppleCarPlay allows you to connect to Microsoft Teams meeting safely when you are on the road either initiating/joining from Teams Mobile or through Siri Voice commands.

If Voice Command is not working make sure your Intune admin configures the Device Security profile to use Siri.

Here are the things you need before using CarPlay -

• The vehicle that supports CarPlay.
• Teams Mobile App signed in with Teams.
• iPhone.

How to use Apple CarPlay -

Connect your Phone to your vehicle either through USB Cable or Bluetooth. Once you are connected to CarPlay, tab to the Microsoft Teams app.

Feature Supported for CarPlay -

• You can only use Teams Audio (No Video/Content Sharing, you need to use your Mobile Teams client to use these features).
• When you join the meeting, your mic will be by default muted.
• You can manage meetings e.g mute/unmute/end the call

Microsoft is now extending CarPlay features to include Calendar View for easy access to Teams calendar and join the ongoing call or upcoming meetings with one touch.

Things to keep in Mind -

• You can join Teams meeting 15 minutes in advance.
• You can only join 5 minutes late after the meeting started.
• If you have a conflict Teams meeting in your calendar, Teams will start joining the meeting that started first. However, if you have both conflict meetings started at the same time, it will use that started first in alphabetical order.
• You need to keep open your Teams app on the mobile to update the calendar on the Apple CarPlay.
