- JBuddCopper ContributorWe use the VMware optimized version of Teams which doesn't support test calls. It's a big complaint of my peers, who wish to test equipment before important meetings/calls. Can you comment on when we can expect this?
- JBuddCopper ContributorThank you!
- cltnetworksCopper ContributorThanks Pete. Predictable answer, but thank you for addressing it. Also - blink twice if you're OK and that you won't get in trouble for speaking about it.
- Holly LehmanFormer EmployeeProvide feedback using the New Feedback Portal! https://aka.ms/TeamsFeedback
- Side note on that. Enter a comment on existing feedbacks that you agree with, instead of just voting. So you describe the use case why you need a feature.
- RickNarvaezCopper ContributorHi, I would like to know what capabilities are being developed for emergency response (i.e. paging, alert messages on Teams desk phones, etc.). We are a K-8 school that recently deployed Teams phones throughout our school but we are currently struggling with the lack of ability to page rooms or groups of emergency response teams. Any insight to what might be coming would be appreciated.
- Dan_BachmannCopper ContributorDuring ignite there was mention of supporting dynamic emergency locations for remote users, can you elaborate on that some more, will remote users need to manually enter their address at the start of every session and/or IP change?
- csteghCopper Contributoris there a GA or Preview date yet for dynamic 911 for WFH? 1/6/22 is around the corner.
- cltnetworksCopper ContributorMicrosoft seems to dodge this question every single time, but here goes. SMS per DID. Why isn't this implemented and are there plans to do so within the next year? We have clients who want to move from services like RingCentral and 8x8 to Teams voice, but they cannot due to the absence of this basic feature. Every single time it is addressed, Microsoft says "we're looking into it" and to submit feedback to Uservoice. This has been the playbook for the past 10 years since Lync and Skype for Business.
- Marcus SchmidtCopper ContributorWe asked pretty much the same question within 2 minutes of each other! 😉
- Marcus SchmidtCopper ContributorOne of the topics that came up at Ignite was SMS on business phone numbers. It sounded like that's been widely requested and there might be something in the works? I think there is something for consumer Teams, so wondering if that same approach will find its way into the business-focused versions of Teams?
- Telephony carriers have to support SMS on landline numbers, and that is not possible today. If mobile numbers will be supported in Teams that would be possible. There are some 3rd party apps in Teams so you can with your carrier add their app to get SMS support in Teams.
- CarnegieJ-IAYFIron Contributor@Linus, we partner with a telephony carrier that supports SMS per DID and seamlessly integrates via Teams Direct Routing and certified Teams devices.
- sideone42Copper Contributorhow do we disable the following voice notifications: Unknown participant is now joining Unknown participant is now exiting
- MatttailCopper ContributorCan you share any plans in introduce a Overhead paging system into Teams?
- jtnguyen328Brass ContributorWill there be an option to export from the Phone numbers page in TAC? Having to scroll through the list and waiting for each to load is very time consuming.

Microsoft
YES! We need to have export capability in _every_ table in Teams admin center. I put the TN summary table on the top of the list but the intent is to have this available everywhere.
