Q. Hi all, during the session today we talked about the whiteboarding issues with MTRoAndroid/MTRonWindows. Since the licensing change per 1 September we see a lot of cases with this message: whiteboarding in progress for now only members of this org can participate. Anybody knows how to solve this? Most cases are with MTRonAndroid (Yealink) and Teams Rooms Pro license?
A. Not sure if this would be of help but we came across similar message and Set-SPOTenant -AllowAnonymousMeetingParticipantsToAccessWhiteboards On worked for us even though it is not an ideal solution also note our environment is MTRoW and Standard license
