CalendarIf you enable the Replace the meeting links with the destination information setting in the Microsoft Teams migration policy to replace the source meeting link with a destination link, make sure you have configured user mappings for the source meeting organizers, and there are some notes that need your attention. Refer to the Notes when Replacing Meeting Links section below for details.

If you enable the Replace meeting links with the destination information setting to replace the source meeting link with a destination link, some issues may occur in the following situations:

  1. Due to API limitations, some features may be different from the source after users join the meeting with the new links.

    • If destination organizers join the meeting via Teams on the web:

      • Chat, Apps, Record and translation, and Meeting notes actions are not available. 

      • The meeting title, date and time, Meeting ID, and Meeting options link will not be displayed in Meeting info

      • The Turn off incoming video action will not be displayed in More > Settings, but will be displayed in View > More options

      • Only the current user will be displayed in the meeting. 

      • The meeting duration will not be displayed.

      • The options in Meeting options displayed in More > Settings will not be displayed. 

    • If destination attendees join the meeting via Teams on the web:

      • Chat, Apps, Record and translation, and Meeting notes actions are not available. 

      • The meeting title, date and time, Meeting ID, and Meeting options link will not be displayed in Meeting info

      • The Turn off incoming video action will not be displayed in More > Settings, but will be displayed in View > More options

      • Only the current user will be displayed in the meeting. 

      • The meeting duration will not be displayed.

    • If destination organizers join the meeting via the Teams app:

      • Chat, Apps, Record and translation, and Meeting notes actions are not available. 

      • Only the current user will be displayed in the meeting. 

      • The meeting title, date and time, Meeting ID, and Meeting options link will not be displayed in Meeting info

      • The meeting duration will not be displayed.

      • The options in Meeting options displayed in More > Settings will not be displayed.

    • If destination attendees join the meeting via the Teams app: 

      • Chat, Apps, Record and translation, and Meeting notes actions are not available. 

      • Only the current user will be displayed in the meeting. 

      • The meeting title, date and time, Meeting ID, and Meeting options link will not be displayed in Meeting info

      • The meeting duration will not be displayed.

  2. The Meeting options link in the calendar cannot be opened. 

  3. The Join on the web link in the source calendar item cannot be replaced with the destination information. After you map the source meeting attendees to the destination, when the mapped attendees click the Join on the web link and use the meeting ID and passcode to join the meeting via Microsoft Teams on the web, they will wait in the lobby until the meeting organizer allows the user to enter the meeting.

  4. The source tenant ID in the meeting link will be replaced with the destination information. If some users in your organization have been migrated to the destination and the meeting participants contain source users and users who have been migrated to the destination, when the source and destination participants click the meeting links in the email, they will enter two different meetings.

  5. The source tenant ID in the meeting link will be replaced with the destination information. If the meeting participants contain external users, the destination meeting organizer needs to update the meeting after the migration to update the meeting link for external users. Otherwise, when external users click the link to attend the meeting, they will be redirected to the source meeting.

  6. When you enable the Safe Links settings for email addresses in Microsoft 365 Defender for Office 365, the source meeting links cannot be replaced with the destination information. When the external/destination user clicks the source meeting link to attend the meeting, they will wait in the lobby until the meeting organizer allows the user to enter the meeting.

If your meeting meets the situation 4, 5, or 6 above, we recommend that you do not enable the Replace meeting links with the destination information setting and configure the ChangeTeamsMeetingScopeAsEveryone=true customized feature string in the migration policy to publish the source meeting link to everyone. Also, you need to note the following:

  • Make sure you have configured an app profile for the source tenant, and the app has the permissions below to publish the source meeting link:

    • Make sure you have assigned the access policy for the AvePoint Fly app or custom Azure app. Refer to access policy for details.

    • If you use a custom Azure app, make sure you have assigned the Microsoft Graph API > OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite.All permission to the app.

  • If destination users join the meeting via Teams on the web:

    • AppsRecord and translation, and Meeting notes actions will not be displayed.

    • Source organizer will be displayed as a guest and source attendees will be displayed as external users in the destination.

    • End meeting action will not be displayed.

    • The options in Meeting options and Mute notifications action displayed in More > Settings will not be displayed.

    • Manage permissions, Download attendance list and Lock the meeting actions displayed in Participants will not be displayed.

    • Together mode action in View is not available.

    • Destination users cannot save the meeting recording. The meeting recording saved by the source user will be displayed in the meeting chat of destination users rather than meeting files. When destination users click the recording, a window appears with the recording link. Destination users do not have permissions to access the recording via the recording link since the link is a source link.

  • If destination users join the meeting via Teams app:

    • Rooms, Apps, Record and translation, and Meeting notes actions will not be displayed.

    • Source organizer will be displayed as an external user in the destination.

    • End meeting action will not be displayed.

    • The options in Meeting options displayed in More > Settings will not be displayed.

    • Manage permissions, Download attendance list and Lock the meeting actions displayed in Participants will not be displayed.

    • Together mode action in View is not available.

    • Destination users cannot save the meeting recording. The meeting recording saved by the source user will be displayed in the meeting chat of destination users rather than meeting files. When destination users click the recording, a window appears with the recording link. Destination users do not have permissions to access the recording via the recording link since the link is a source link.

For whether to enable the Replace meeting links with the destination information setting in the migration policy, we have recommendations based on different migration methods:

  • For big bang migrations (migrate all objects at a time), the situations above may not occur, and we recommend that you enable the Replace meeting links with the destination information setting to replace the source meeting link with a destination link.

  • For wave-based migrations (split the migration into multiple waves), to avoid the situations above, we recommend that you do not enable the Replace meeting links with the destination information setting and refer to the solutions provided above.
