“Office 365 Dual Homed Experience with OBTP (One Button To Push) Scheduling” allows participants to join Office 365 meetings using Cisco endpoints that support OBTP.

The host schedules a meeting using Microsoft Outlook with Skype for Business plugin, and adds participants and conference rooms (including OBTP-enabled endpoints) and a location to meet in.

To join the meeting, participants using a OBTP-enabled endpoint simply push the OBTP button on the endpoint or touchscreen. Skype for Business clients click a link to join the meeting as normal.

Note: If using Office 365, only invited OBTP-enabled endpoints or Skype for Business clients with Office 365 can join the Lync meeting; Cisco endpoints cannot join the meeting manually, via the Meeting Server IVR. This is a key difference to an on-premise Lync deployment,which allows any Cisco endpoint to join manually via the Meeting Server IVR.

Note: “Office 365 Dual Homed Experience with OBTP (One Button To Push) Scheduling” is supported from Version 2.2, and requires Cisco TMS 15.5, and Cisco TMS XE 5.5.
