What turns on the Call tab and call option in settings?

[Robin Nilsson]

This is on the Windows app. We do not have any calling or phone plans. We have Skype for Business on-premise but it's a pretty standard install - no speciality phone options.

All of a sudden last week I got the Calls tab which shows me my contacts and allows me to make calls from there (no keypad displayed). Also, in my settings, there's a new Calls tab that lets me choose Ringtones and TTY accessibility. No one else in the department sees the same thing. I love it, but I'm curious is this a known change that's being rolled out even if we don't have calling plans?

We've always had the ability of course in chat to use video or call, but this is a new interface. I'm not on the developer preview. When I look in the Teams logs I see it resolves to True now. We haven't used any PowerShell to change any settings that I know of, I'm the only one that would be doing that.

It’s been in the message center they are starting to roll out call tab for everyone with voice enabled.

Makes sense, but we aren't formally voice enabled. Unless there's a low level that everyone gets. That's what's puzzling. And I guess I thought if it rolled out to our tenant, everyone would see it. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts and hope it really does show up to all later. Thanks Chris.

Voice being just allowed to make calls in chat not phone voice. It’ll show up for all once they start running updates sometimes it gets trickled out etc.

We had the Calls tab but today it disappeared... Any settings we should change to have it again? I liked the view even though it was quiet similar to Tab Chat -> Contacts.

Just have to wait, they are deploying it, i've seen things come and go because one update will overwrite another. Just give it a few weeks and it'll iron itself out.

Hi everybody, 

I'm new on this blog and I have the same issue.

I have juste deployed Direct routing and trying to activate my Teams Users with Voice.

After activating my User, the call button is not appearing in my Teams Client. Waiting for 5 days...

Microsoft do not found the origine of the problem.

Is someone have the answer for this?

Many Thanks
