Decoding the Microsoft Teams Meeting Link / URL for Troubleshooting

Hello All

Hope all is well

The first thing that you will notice when you create a Teams meeting is that it is presented with percentage encoding.  this is the first thing we’ll need to strip out or decode prior to Decode  the Teams meeting URL. Below is an example of a meeting generated via the Teams Outlook add-in.

Meeting Link

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDIxMDk0ZDgtODRhYy00MTI5LWExYTYtNzM4OTk3ODg4NTk0%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%2255e63bcc-d6b0-4405-b191-9ff359cf8b02%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22f4baa741-5377-4be3-9ab1-6a3bb8c17ce4%22%7d

Let’s next break this URL into four sections:

1: Thread ID

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDIxMDk0ZDgtODRhYy00MTI5LWExYTYtNzM4OTk3ODg4NTk0%40thread

Meeting ID : ZDIxMDk0ZDgtODRhYy00MTI5LWExYTYtNzM4OTk3ODg4NTk0

2: Thread Message ID

0

3: Tenant ID (TID)

3a%2255e63bcc-d6b0-4405-b191-9ff359cf8b02

4: Organizer ID (OID)

22f4baa741-5377-4be3-9ab1-6a3bb8c17ce4

We can troubleshoot the meeting quality  with help of meeting ID in CQD PowerBBI 

Open the latest  CDQ QER file in powerBI

Conclusion 

As a Teams admin, we can have the problematic meeting Link or  URL from reported users or meeting organisers, and no need to ask Meeting date, Time Organiser name etc for troubleshooting.  Note : CDQ will display only last 28 days meetings and calls

I hope this article helps for decoding the meeting Links from MS Teams. Happy Learning 😃
