Hello Readers, I hope you’re well.
Welcome to Episode 52 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).
This week we chat about Teams Telephony, Teams Phone, Teams Calling and Voice stuff. Yes I know they are all the same but I wanted to try to make it sound exciting.
I pulled some stuff from the Message Centre, What’s new in Teams Blogs and the Roadmap
Message Centre and What’s new in Teams
- Dynamic emergency calling on Teams Web. Including adding an emergency location
- Make calls through speed dial and call history on Apple CarPlay
- Changes in Normalization: Microsoft is stopping normalization on number that starts with + sign
- Authorized users will be able to Change call queue and auto attendant greetings and announcements
- Compliance recording for redirected calls
- Redirected scenarios include forwarded and transferred calls, calls redirected to voicemail, delegated calls, and call to call groups.
- Teams Calling Policy version 2 – You can now choose different routing settings for PSTN calls and VoIP calls from federated Teams users in Teams admin center.
- option to either allow all incoming calls, redirect calls to voicemail, or redirect calls as per user’s unanswered settings.
