UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT for Teams Direct Routing enables users to use Microsoft Teams native calling experience to place and receive external calls using the UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT industry leading PBX.
Once fully configured, the Office 365 phone system add-on will appear within Teams for each user under the section labeled Calls.
Placing a call
Use speed dial to call someone in your organization or use the dial pad feature to type in the phone number you wish to call and press the Call button.
Note: once the UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT integration to Microsoft Teams has been enabled, it may take up to several hours for a Keypad to appear. If you do not see a Keypad, log out from your Teams account and log in.
Teams will place the call to your destination and utilize the microphone and speakers your user has set up for this purpose.
Receiving a call
Because you created a new device for each user within your UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT service, when the user receives an inbound call to their phone number, the call will also ring within Teams. Your user may answer the call within Teams by simply pressing the phone handset icon.
Retrieving voicemail
Voicemail will not be available through the Teams interface. New voicemails will arrive via email.
