summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams is introducing a feature in mid-May 2025 that allows meeting organizers to add Cloud Video Interop (CVI) coordinates to town hall and webinar invitations, enabling participants using different video conferencing systems to join seamlessly.
Direct effects for Operations**
Increased Complexity in Meeting Management
With the addition of CVI coordinates, meeting organizers may face challenges in managing invitations and ensuring that all participants, especially those using third-party devices, can join without issues. This could lead to confusion and potential delays during meetings.
