“A Microsoft Teams conference is hosted by Office 365 in the same region where the first participant joined.” Microsoft Teams is cloud only, so your meetings are on/in Office 365, but physically where? It’s not the same as Skype for Business, your conference won’t necessarily be homed in the same place/region as your Office 365 tenant. There was an option to have “ Regionally Hosted Meetings” in Skype for Business Online, essentially homing select users to different Office 365 regions or geos, but it never went mainstream. In Skype for Business Online, it was pretty easy too, your Office 365 tenant is in a particular location, and your Skype for Business Online service (essentially a bunch of SfB servers) would also be there, so that’s where your meetings were hosted. Often we would deploy regional pools to best serve users in their region. In Skype for Business Server, this was pretty easy, if you scheduled the meeting it would be hosted on your home server pool, always. This is interesting as connectivity can impact conference performance and generally speaking more local can mean a better connection. People (well, very technical people ) are often interested to understand where in the world their Microsoft Teams meeting will be physically hosted, or, to use an older term, where in the world the MCU (Multipoint Control Unit, the thing in conferencing that mixes all the streams together) is located.
