But for organizations that already have Office 365, Microsoft Teams phones would be an ideal VoIP telephony solution. Fortunately, Microsoft recently introduced a whole bunch of new Teams phones features to power business VoIP communication and collaboration.

New Teams phones capabilities

The People app is now available to Teams phones users. And it’s all about letting workmates share and collaborate more closely. Another notable update is the ability to annotate live video in meetings and group calls. The desktop version of Teams has this feature in preview though. Also, the raise hand capability is a unique addition to Teams meetings. It’s certainly a conspicuous, yet a non-intrusive way to let people know that you wish to contribute to the ongoing meeting agenda. And that’s not all. Teams phones users can now more quickly transfer calls, thanks to the new frequent contacts suggestion feature. In a typical customer support scenario, for example, the capability comes in handy when you need to urgently get a colleague or boss to respond to an issue you can’t resolve yourself. Plus, apart from streamlining the lock and unlock experience for your Teams phone and Teams desktop client, the platform now supports the automatic dismissal of Call ended and Rate my call screens. Last but not least, Microsoft introduced Teams and Skype interoperability for phones users. This new integration facilitates VoIP communication from Skype for Consumer (SFC). With all the aforementioned updates, Microsoft wishes to level out the Teams phones and Teams desktop experiences. Are you happy with the new features? Let us know in the comments section below.
