Hi,
I am looking for some approaches to authenticate a user on remote pc for joining Teams meeting.
Scenario is like:
I have a Windows-10 pc (say pc-1) in which I login using my Azure AD account. If I open any Teams meeting url in browser on my this pc, it takes me to join the meeting directly without asking my Teams credentials as I have already used that for login to pc.
I have another Windows-10 pc (say pc-2 ) which is a standalone pc logged-in using a local user account, acts like a server machine and it doesn't have any keyboard/mouse attached. I get the same meeting url opened in browser on that pc-2 (through my modules running there). It asks me for Teams user credential but I am unable to do that manually.
So what I am looking for is:
Any help/pointers to some link is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for visiting our forum. Teams tag is mainly focused on the general issue of Microsoft Teams troubleshooting. Based on your description, this problem is related to Teams development. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
Hi SokiGuo,
Thanks for your reply and clarification. Yes, my query is more related to teams development work (authentication mechanism understanding and approaches).
Please guide me where (in which forum) should I post my query or what tag I should put in order to get appropriate responses.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply @Meghana-MSFT .
Regarding 1: Are Access tokens device specific or user account specific? If its user account specific (which I think so) then it should have been used across the devices. Isn't it?
Regarding 3: Yes, please share if there any detailed info available on this.
I basically wanted to know that When user opens a team meeting url in web-browser, and if user has already signed-in to his Microsoft account in that browser, then it automatically log-in user to meeting without asking his credentials again. Certainly the url/web-page is fetching some tokens or any other info from browser cache/local storage through which it get ensured that user has already signed-in into his Microsoft account. So can I utilize same mechanism in anyway.
Thanks.
@Ramashankar Agrahari - We got the below response from engineering team.
For AAD SSO to work, the user either needs to have:
Without one of these two mechanisms, SSO is not possible. A self-authenticating URL would be a security nightmare. So, this flow cannot be supported.
Hence ask #1 can't be supported and for ask #3 Teams auto authentication works as mentioned above.
Thanks for the reply Meghana.
1-(Signed in with their AAD account in some site loaded in the browser): I got this approach, but my constraint is that user can't enter credential manually as there is no keyboard attached to that terminal where browser is opened. So is there any way MS display some QR code in browser for authentication, which I scan from my mobile app (or may be with MS-Authenticator app itself) and authenticate locally on mobile, such that browser gets authenticated.. something similar to web version of whatsapp (https://web.whatsapp.com/).
For 2(AAD is able to use the Windows Authentication Manager to get a user token ): As I have already retrieved user token programmatically using Graph API, so in this approach when browser is looking for token from windows authentication manager, can I feed my user token to windows authentication manager or directly to browser somehow?
Sorry for too much to ask for.
Thanks,
Unfortunately, both are not possible.

@Ramashankar Agrahari Are you trying to build a recording bot that can join meetings authenticated?
@Amanda
Not its not the recording bot. I want that one of the real participant should join the meeting automatically just by clicking on the meeting url.
Look, if as a user I click on a team meeting url in my email, then it gets opened in web browser automatically, where it first tries to launch the meeting using Teams' desktop client app. But if desktop app is not installed, it gives option to open the meeting in bowser itself. On browser it then asks user to sign-in (assuming user has never signed-in Microsoft account in that browser). Once user login, team meeting is opened with his/her account.
What I want is that how to bypass this sign-in step, or how I can get it authenticated in any other way where user need not to type anything (credentials) manually in the browser.
I can get an access token/refresh token for that user programmatically using Graph API, but I am unable to use that token to get join meeting automatically.
