4

No matter how smart communication systems become, Calling still remains the basic feature needed in a business communication system. In the Microsoft Teams phone system, there are various features and most usable for organizations in which Microsoft teams call is the most in-demand feature of all. With Teams, Microsoft 365 has got more power, so while you are editing the main project file, you can have a live conversation from within Microsoft 365 with the team lead of the project regarding the edits and save time for future revisions of the same document.

How cool is that?

Since Teams focuses on collaboration between people of the same project, Microsoft teams call is a feature in Microsoft Teams phone system which is made available at all times.

So… how do you do it? There isn’t one way, rather there are Four! :

Start a Microsoft teams call through the Calls Tab: Call Tab offers call features like in a normal phone. You can dial numbers using the dial pad directly, or navigate to contacts List to search for the Contact to call. You can search through email id, phone number or add a person to the list of your contacts. Pretty much the same way as you can do on your smartphone.

Place a call via Chat Tab: Indeed some things are never easy to explain on a text-based chat and here is where calling through Microsoft Teams phone system dives in. To make things less complicated, there’s a direct call icon in the top right corner. Go forward with audio/video call to keep the flow of conversation intact.

Place a call from command bar: This is for the IT pros, type in backslash (it hints Teams that you are about to give a command) then type call and press Enter. Next, Teams will prompt you to type in the name/email of the person to contact to. Select the contact and the call is started.

Place a call from Anywhere: “Contact Cards” is how Microsoft teams phone system has made calling more easy. It’s a normal scenario that you recall to call a person by looking at his name or profile pic (maybe when a document is uploaded by that person). Just click on his pic and a contact card is displayed. You can call them directly through contact card.
