Start a new Ad-Hoc Meeting
When you want to use the system for a new, unscheduled meeting, the “Meet” button allows you to create a new Teams meeting from the MTR system and invite people to it by searching a name or number in the text field.

Another way to join a meeting from the room is to add the meeting ID.
You will find the meeting ID and passcode in your Outlook Calendar invite.
