2021 midlands bass bash! 4th september Date Confirmed

[Richard R]

Hmmmm. The email address is right. 

I'm not familiar enough with Apple to be sure. Are you logging into the Apple Business store at this point in order to download the app? You just need to download from the normal Apple store it just like any other app, using your AppleID. When it's on the machine then you can log into the team I've set up.

I have an old iPad I can test on. But it's at church as the remote control for the mixing desk so I will have to class walking down to get it as my exercise tomorrow as it's hardly an essential journey. Low risk though given that the church will be empty.

I got caught up in similar stuff.  My conclusion is that it seems to:

- need you to have a Microsoft Account & password

- I think it also needs you to have a Skype account

Both of the above can be done for free if you don't already have them.

Then, at the end of it, you will also need Richard's invite link.

I can't be sure about this because, in true MS style, the questions it asks along the joining journey are ambiguous and confusing and take you to screens that don't seem to have any relevance to what you are doing.

But I think that's probably the issue, @Len_derby

 

The reason I think it's that is that I originally tried to kickoff using my ajrguitarmods hotmail address and that's what Richard originally sent on the Teams invite.  But on the Hotmail address, I have neither a MS Account or a Skype account. I then hit similar problems. 

But for my private email, I have both a Microsoft account and Skype and when I tried with that address it let me set up the MS Teams Account.  I then I could click a revised invite link from Richard (who had sent a new one linked to my private email) and that allowed me to log into the team room. 

Hope this helps

Did any of this work, @Len_derby ?

[Len_derby]

Not yet Andy. I haven’t got a MS mail account. But Richard thinks it may work anyway. He’s looking into it I believe.

So far we have:

@Bassman Sam, @Andyjr1515, @Len_derby, and I hope still @jebroad & @ped

Added @Oldman and @nickmew 

Added another +1 who isn't (yet) on BC

 

Time confirmed at 8PM THIS FRIDAY (whatever date that is 😄 )  Start up and log into Teams with the email address a few minutes before and I'll kick off the call when most people are in.

Cheers,

Rich

Still on for this evening?

[Richard R]

Definitely ON!

@Len_derby, you do need a Microsoft account, but you can set one up with any email address. If you use the one you sent all will be good.

 

I will be in from about 7:50

[Oldman]

I’m good to go teamviewer up and running

[flaxholmelis]

Looking forward to hearing how this goes for you guys

 

[Richard R]

OK all. So if you open teams and join with the account we set up then you'll be in. 
I will then call everyone using Teams abut 8pm, but if you're not running the app you won't get the call.

So, to make a terrible analogy,  you have to walk in the door of the hall, and then I'll call us to order on VC. 🙂

@Oldman, I'm not sure what TeamViewer is, is it another name for the Teams App? If so then you should be able to see and post to the "General" chat now

 

[Andyjr1515]

I'm in ( I think)

 

[Richard R]

Andy is in. Anyone else joining.

[Andyjr1515]

I saw jebroad?

 

[Oldman]

Wo is it Teams or TeamViewer?

[Richard R]

Microsoft Teams

 

[Andyjr1515]

MS Teams, @Oldman

[Oldman]

Ok got that upwghat code do I use?

 

[Richard R]

Open and log into Teams, and I'll include you on the meeting

 

[Oldman]

Man, I’m struggling to get this up and running

[Jabba_the_gut]

Hi Richard,

I've got literally 10 mins if you would like me to join to test this.

Cheers

[Richard R]

Have you got MS Teams on the android

 

[Oldman]

Just Microsoft laptop

 

[Oldman]

It’s telling me I’m not on teams yet but I can set it up for my organisation

[Richard R]

You should just be able to sign in to MS teams with the email you gave me, because you are part of my organisation.

 

 

[Richard R]

Any joy?

 

[Richard R]

@Andyjr1515 - you still seem to be in the meeting. Can you hang up?
