Dial Phone Numbers from browsers or other application in Teams
Hello MS-Team(s),
I'm using Teams also as Softphone for external calls. I'm searching a solution how to dial phone numbers from a browser or other systems (like ERP-Software) via teams. Maybe there is are extensions for Edge or a configuration in Standard Apps in Windows10. I didn't found any of it yet - and maybe there are some security concerns 🙂 Other VOIP-Solution has such settings.
A feature like this would increase productivity enormous.
Kind Regards
Daniel

And here is the 5 minutute-solution to my problem 🙂
- Download the Telephone Number Detection for the Browser (Edge and Chrome available).
- Choose Settings of the extension and set Protokoll to tel:
- Windows Standard Apps ->Set Procoll for Tel = Teams
- Save time & have fun
Hello, Freundt - thanks for your advice, I have tried to get this to work but it's not picking up Teams as the dialler. I only have Facetime as an option when clicked (using OSX, and Chrome). The extension is live, and i updated to your settings above but it hasn't done anything. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Holy crap thanks for this. Teams Wizard is a godsend. My previous company used RingCentral and their softphone allowed you to just highlight a number on a website or whatever and hit F5 or F6 to dial it, and I was reeeeeeally missing this at my new company. Works like a dream, way better than the browser extension, in my opinion.
