Anonymous meeting join - Skype UCWA for online - skype-for-business

Question

I am trying to join a meeting anonymously through a meeting URI and this does not seem to work. I went to the SKYPE UCWA site and went to the interactive SDK - and tried to join a meeting anonymously from there but the page does not do anything.
https://ucwa.skype.com/websdk
Below is the code that I am trying to join a meeting anonymously, but the call to client.signInManager.signIn never completes and neither any exception is thrown.
Looking for suggestions to resolve this issue. Also, if someone has working code of joining a meeting anonymously using SKYPE web sdk (UCWA), please share the same. Thanks.
function InitialiseSkype() {
Skype.initialize({ apiKey: config.apiKey }, function (api) {
window.skypeWebAppCtor = api.application;
window.skypeWebApp = new api.application();
client = new window.skypeWebAppCtor;
//once intialised, sign in
alert("Skype SDK Initialized");
JoinAnonymous();
}, function (err) {
console.log(err);
alert('Cannot load the SDK.');
});
}
function JoinAnonymous(){
client.signInManager.signIn({
version: config.Version,
name: $('#name').val(),
meeting: $('#meetingUri').val()
}).then(function () {
alert('Signed In, Anonymously');
var conversation = application.conversationsManager.getConversationByUri(uri);
}, function (error) {
alert(error);
});
}

Answer 1

Actually I did sign in anonymously using that code :
//Init
var config = {apiKey: 'a42fcebd-5b43-4b89-a065-74450fb91255', // SDK
apiKeyCC: '9c967f6b-a846-4df2-b43d-5167e47d81e1' // SDK+UI
};
Skype.initialize({ apiKey: config.apiKey }, function (api) {
window.skypeWebApp = new api.application;
}, function (err) {
console.log("cannot load the sdk package", err);
});
//Actual code
var uri ="sip:xxxxxxxx;gruu;opaque=app:conf:focus:id:xxxxxxxx";
window.skypeWebApp.signInManager.signIn({
name: "pseudo",
meeting:uri
}).then(function () {
alert('Signed In, Anonymously');
}, function (error) {
alert(error);
});
I did connect with the uri given in the ucwa.skype interactive web sdk page.
But I did not manage to join the conversation after that, probably because the interactive sample does not really create the room.
I can join a meeting from a office365 account while logged in with a sample account. However I can not join anonymously my meeting room.
Do you try with an on-premise account or with a office365 account ?

Looks like Anonymous join for a meeting is not yet available for Skype For Business online.
