    Join Zoom, Google Meet & Webex from Your Teams Rooms

    Your meeting rooms run Microsoft Teams - but your clients send Zoom invites, your partners book Google Meet, and some callers still use older video systems. MAV Connect gives every one of those meetings a Join button on the screen your team already uses.

    • One tap to join - no long codes typed into the touch panel
    • No more huddling round a laptop for the wrong-platform call
    • The room's proper cameras, microphones and screens, every time
    • No cables, and no wondering whether the BYOD laptop route will work on the day

    You do not need to understand the technology. Call us - plain-English answers, no obligation, and we handle the technical conversation with your IT team for you.

    Plain answers, no obligation - and no question is too basic.

    MAV Connect

    One touch. Every major platform.

    No codes to type, no laptop to carry in, no user training. The room joins the way it always does.

    1

    Invite the room

    Forward the Zoom, Google Meet, Webex or SIP meeting invite to the room's calendar, or add the room when you book - exactly as you would for a Teams meeting.

    2

    The Join button appears

    The meeting shows on the room controller alongside your Teams meetings. No codes to type, no laptop to plug in.

    3

    One tap to join

    The room joins with its own cameras, microphones and screens. Dual displays and in-room HDMI content sharing work in the third-party meeting.

    The honest comparison: free and native vs MAV Connect

    Teams Rooms come with a free, basic way of joining some other platforms' meetings - Microsoft calls it Direct Guest Join. Think of it as the built-in free tier: it gets you into some meetings, with limits. For some offices it is enough, and if that is you, we will say so on the call rather than sell you something you do not need. The honest comparison:

    CapabilityDirect Guest Join (built in, free)MAV Connect
    Zoom meetingsYes - up to 720pYes - up to 1080p
    Cisco Webex meetingsYes - up to 720pYes - up to 1080p
    Google Meet from Android-based roomsNot availableYes
    Google Meet from Windows-based roomsNot included - needs an additional licenceYes
    Older video systems (SIP - courts, NHS trusts, legacy kit)Not availableYes
    In-room HDMI content sharing into the meetingNot available - the room receives shared content but cannot send itYes
    Dual screen supportNot availableYes
    Admin visibility and call analyticsLimited - Teams reporting, audio channel onlyYes - Pexip Control Center

    Native capabilities per Microsoft's Teams Rooms third-party meetings documentation, checked against our own deployments - where day-to-day behaviour differs from the documentation (Google Meet's Windows-only guest join), we state what we see in the field. MAV Connect capabilities per Pexip's Connect for Teams Rooms product documentation, June 2026. Minimum licence quantities apply - we confirm what fits your estate on the scoping call.

    Your Existing Rooms

    No new hardware required

    Most video bars and meeting room screens we install run Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android - and out of the box, those rooms cannot join a Google Meet call at all. MAV Connect runs on certified Teams Rooms devices from manufacturers including HP Poly and Logitech, on both Android and Windows rooms, so one solution covers a mixed estate. Tell us what is in your rooms - or send us a photo - and we will confirm compatibility before anything is quoted.

    We install and support these rooms every week - see our meeting room AV installation service and the platforms we deploy: Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet Rooms.

    Who this is for

    Client-facing firms

    Legal, financial and professional services teams whose clients send Zoom and Meet invites daily - joined from the boardroom, not a laptop.

    Mixed-platform groups

    Organisations standardised on Teams whose parent company, subsidiaries or key partners run Google Workspace or Webex.

    Public sector and legacy VC

    Teams estates that need to reach courts, NHS trusts and agencies still running SIP-based video systems.

    Security

    Built on certified technology

    MAV Connect is built on Pexip Connect for Teams Rooms - Microsoft-certified technology from our partner Pexip - designed, deployed and supported by us UK-wide from our Halifax and London offices.

    Microsoft and Google approved

    MAV Connect is built on Pexip Connect. Pexip is a Microsoft-approved, certified Cloud Video Interop (CVI) partner and a Google-approved interoperability partner, and carries Microsoft's Certified Software designation.

    A gateway, not an open door

    Third-party platforms connect to the interoperability gateway, not to your room systems or your network. Your rooms stay inside your Microsoft environment.

    Calendar-authenticated joins

    Rooms join meetings from their own authenticated calendar invites - there is no anonymous dial-in path into your rooms.

    Certified security management

    Pexip operates ISO 27001-certified information security policies.

    Teams Rooms interoperability questions, answered

    Yes. Teams Rooms can join Zoom meetings natively through Direct Guest Join at up to 720p on a single screen. With MAV Connect the same room joins at up to 1080p with dual screen support and full admin visibility, from the same Join button.
    Not natively. Microsoft's own documentation lists Google Meet under Direct Guest Join as Windows only, so Android-based rooms - most video bar systems - have no built-in route into a Meet call. MAV Connect adds one-touch Google Meet join to Android-based Teams Rooms.
    The room only shows a Join button when it can recognise the meeting in its calendar invite. Forwarded invites with stripped links, security rewrites of URLs, and unsupported platforms are the usual causes. MAV Connect processes the room calendar and presents a Join button for supported third-party meetings, which removes the most common failure.
    Direct Guest Join is the free, built-in browser-based join on the room itself - basic quality, limited features. Cloud video interop routes the call through a dedicated gateway, which is how MAV Connect delivers 1080p, HDMI content sharing, dual screens and SIP calling. Basic needs may be fine on the free option; we will tell you which fits on a scoping call.
    No. MAV Connect runs on certified Microsoft Teams Rooms devices you already own, on Android and Windows. We confirm device support for your exact estate before anything is quoted.
    MAV Connect is built on Pexip technology that carries Microsoft's Certified Software designation, operated under ISO 27001-certified information security policies. Third-party platforms connect to the gateway rather than into your network, and rooms only join meetings from their own authenticated calendar invites.
    Nothing technical. It helps to know roughly how many meeting rooms you have and which platforms your callers use - Zoom, Google Meet, Webex or anything else. We work out the rest directly with your IT team, and every recommendation comes to you in plain English, in writing, so you can share it with IT and finance.
