Additional meeting and call-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for Education
I'm not sure why or how, but I think it might have something to do with the way various tech is integrated. I can have someone create a meeting (in my enterprise) and on the appointment it has a link that says "Join Microsft Teams Meeting" and it will open teams and join the meeting. It's almost like they setup the meeting while logged into an account other than the one used in our enterprise...or maybe they weren't authenticated at the time or something. In those cases, it's messed up, no self view, in fact there is no "Join" button in the Teams calendar view. I *must* use the link in the appointment to join. Which is weird because it is still on the calendar.
It seems that whenever I am able to join a meeting using the "Join" button on the calendar, everything works as normal, self view is present, everything is good.
Why some meetings on the calendar have a join button and others are missing it, and only have a link inside the appointment, I do not know. My guess is it has something to do with how the meeting scheduler scheduled it and/or what kind of an account they have.
