How Do I: Join an Online Meeting @ MITRE: External Partner

MITRE Conferencing is available to external partners (users not connected to the MITRE network) so you can join an online meeting as a guest.

External partners who wish to participate in desktop sharing will need to install the Skype for Business add-in and be able to communicate via port 443. If the external partner is unable to meet any of the requirements (Skype for Business add-in) they should contact their IT department for assistance.
