The Basics: Microsoft Teams Calling is a user-friendly VoIP calling system designed for modern workplaces. Let’s explore basic actions like making a call and adding contacts to help you and your team get started.
Dial Pad: To access your Teams Phone, open Microsoft Teams on your computer and click the ‘Calls’ tab in the left-hand column.
You should see another menu with four options:
- Speed dial
- Contacts
- History
- Voicemail
Below that menu, you should find your dial pad. On smaller screens, the dial pad might display as a simple ‘Make a Call’ or ‘Dial a Number’ button instead. Click the button to bring up the dial pad.
To make a call, type in the phone number on the dial pad and click ‘Make a Call’.
Speed Dial, Contacts, History, and Voicemail: These four options provide quick access to your frequent contacts, saved contacts, call history, and voicemail, streamlining your Teams Phone experience.
