Question

Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named contoso.com. You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You plan to implement Microsoft Teams Rooms shared room video conferencing. You deploy 50 Teams Rooms on Windows devices and join each device to contoso.com. You need to enable Direct Guest Join on all 50 devices. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you do?

Why each option

Direct Guest Join on Teams Rooms on Windows is enabled via the SkypeSettings.xml configuration file. Deploying this file through Group Policy to all domain-joined devices is the most efficient approach for bulk configuration.

AFrom the Microsoft Teams admin center, modify the Guest access settings.

The Guest access settings in the Microsoft Teams admin center control whether external users can join Teams meetings as guests, not the Direct Guest Join feature for Teams Rooms devices.

BRun the Set-CsVideoInteropServiceProvider cmdlet.

The Set-CsVideoInteropServiceProvider cmdlet configures cloud video interop (CVI) providers for third-party video conferencing, which is unrelated to enabling Direct Guest Join.

CDeploy a SkypeSettings.xml file to each device by using Group Policy.Correct

Teams Rooms on Windows reads configuration settings, including Direct Guest Join, from a SkypeSettings.xml file placed in a specific local directory on the device. Because all 50 devices are joined to the on-premises AD DS domain, Group Policy can deploy this XML file to all devices simultaneously, requiring only a single policy configuration rather than touching each device individually.

DRun the Set-CsTeamsGuestMeetingConfiguration cmdlet.

The Set-CsTeamsGuestMeetingConfiguration cmdlet controls meeting capabilities for guest users within Teams meetings, not the Direct Guest Join feature on Teams Rooms hardware.
