FAQs

What is the Microsoft Teams phone system?

The Microsoft Teams phone system is a unified communication system that integrates with the Teams platform, providing the same features and tools that a call center might. Teams Phone provides voicemail support, call forwarding, and options for conference calls. The Teams Phone system gives organizations the ability to consolidate their communication tools, letting team members communicate with one another as well as clients and outside contacts, all from the same platform.

Does Teams come with a call-in option?

Yes, one of the features of Teams when it's integrated with Teams Phone is the call-in option. The call-in feature allows distant users to join meetings with a traditional phone line. As this course illustrates, you can set up a meeting within Teams, assign it a meeting ID, then provide users with a phone number to call-in and join the meeting as if they were connected directly to the meeting.

What sorts of things can you learn from a course on Teams' phone system?

This Microsoft Teams course shows you everything you need to run Teams Phone for an organization, from setting it up to configuring how it works so that it's just right for you and your teams.

What our learners say

Having access to on-demand labs that I could spin up instantly was very helpful. I didn’t have to have a home environment with a bunch of virtual machines spun up. Or worry about destroying things.

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.

Practice exams help you have an overview of your readiness. If you have failed a couple questions in one area, you can go back and work on them.
