personal meeting room
I have been using gotomeeting and zoom for a while and both provide a "personal meeting room" link that I can put in my signature. I can tell anyone I need to meet with (internal or external) to click the link in my signature to meet now and they will get put into a lobby until I start up my meeting. I also get notified if someone is sitting in my lobby waiting to start a meeting. This would be the final feature we need to switch over to Teams.

Looks like this is planned but no update since last year...https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/35772907-implement-the-ability-to-assign-static-meeting-ids

This has GOT to be a duplicate, because I can't imagine only (at the time of my comment) 338 votes and 37 comments for something that Skype, Zoom, GotoMeeting, and so many others have had for ages.

How has this only gotten 332 votes in 3 years?? I'd vote for this 1000 times if I could!

Absolute must have feature! And the link to the meeting should look like times as shorter.
Just make it looking like https://teams.microsoft.com/meetup-join/<user_id>.
Security concern could be addressed by the meeting host who would allow or reject a guest waiting in the meeting lobby.

This feature would be incredibly useful to host virtual "office hours" at University.

As a user, I want to quickly launch a MS Teams meeting with one click. Currently, I need to schedule a calendar invite, add Teams to the invite, and then go into the invite to click Join. So frustrating.

This would be so helpful for educators who want to host drop-in virtual office hours but want to queue the students who show up.

This is the only thing standing in the way of us ditching zoom completely.

Agreed, this would make our work in higher ed much much easier. Teams is better than webex, but we can't fully switch yet b/c of this.

Agree, we need a personal meeting room with a waiting room functionality.

We really need this functionality to completely replace WebEx. Even Zoom has it. The workaround is ok for short periods of time and a few meetings set up at the same time, but way too cumbersome for long-term use. Please make personal rooms with a permanent URL a priority, thanks!

Personal room definitely needed. Currently the only thing forcing me to use Cisco WebEx

This is a deal breaker for using Teams to book tutorials with Uni students. I need to put the location of the meeting in the invite I send to all tutees, rather than creating a fresh link for every tutorial after they book a time. Many hours of work in administering this and prone to error or oversight.

We also use permanent online meeting rooms via gotomeeting. This is a main pitfall for MS teams.

Teams should support an easy join url. for example sip:email@corp.com

I think this might be an architectural challenge for MS Teams as it creates the space for each meeting but the other way around. I can see the use case of personal meeting room, but isn't this causing the security risk like the Zoombombing?
