Will Wilson - Give this post a looksie - What’s new for Teams phones | June 2021 - Microsoft Tech Community. I was linked to it (and started looking at other blogs including this one) from the Message Center in M365 which also said:
We have recently introduced some important new features and performance improvements for Microsoft Teams on Desk Phones that will help your users to be more productive. Of these, the ability to transfer meetings/calls to a device is perhaps the biggest productivity enabler.
- Add or Transfer Meetings/Call to Device
- Background replacement on video phones
- Contacts in Microsoft Outlook are now available (read-only mode)
- Live captions are now available for calls
- Usability improvements
- Ongoing enhancements to improve user experience when using a delegate on touch screens
- Dial pad is available for early media scenarios to facilitate quick responses for auto attendant scenarios
- Enforcement of authentication policies and tenant-based policies set by admin
- Bug fixes for LLDP for E911 and authentication
When this will happen:
This latest update for Teams is ready to be downloaded and installed.
I'm not sure there's 100% feature parity here, but there's a lot!
Let me know how it goes. I'll be updating my Teams Desk phones over the weekend!
