# Connect to a Microsoft Teams meeting

Once you have set up a Microsoft Teams subscription and set up your Microsoft Teams connection, you are ready to connect to a meeting.

- Click **Epiphan Connect** in the navigation pane.

- If you have subscribed to Epiphan Connect there will be a button labeled **+New Meeting**. Click **+New Meeting** and a window will pop up.

- There will be two options in this window; **Create a new meeting** will create a new Microsoft Teams meeting within Epiphan Connect, and **Connect to a meeting** will allow Epiphan Connect to join an existing Microsoft Teams meeting.

- If you haven't yet set up a Microsoft Teams subscription or set up your Microsoft Teams connection, click **Create a new meeting** and follow the instructions:

- Enter the name of your meeting.

- If you have configured your Microsoft Teams connection and have a meeting ready click **Connect to a meeting:**

- **Enter your Microsoft Teams meeting URL**.

- Select an **Audio mode**: **Isolated audio** or **Mixed audio**. Click **Start Connect**. For Epiphan Connect to join the Microsoft Teams meeting that was created in Step 3a above, you will now need to choose your **Audio mode**, refer to Step 3b. If you clicked **Connect to a meeting** Epiphan Connect will have already started connecting automatically. Once the **Status** displays **Running**, Epiphan Connect is now connected to the Microsoft Teams meeting. It can sometimes take as long as five minutes to reach **Running** status; please take that into consideration when planning to join a meeting.

- Within the Microsoft Teams meeting a new member should appear, Epiphan Connect.

-  In the Epiphan Connect interface you should see a list of all participants already in the meeting and their names.

-  Please be aware that it is possible for certain participants, such as the host, to remove Epiphan Connect from the meeting; doing so will disconnect Epiphan Connect from the meeting, and all streams from the meeting will be stopped.

**Further Considerations**

- There is no limit to the number of Microsoft Teams meetings you can join using Epiphan Connect.

- Microsoft Teams meetings created within Epiphan Connect will only be available for 45 days.
