Dial Phone Numbers from browsers or other application in Teams

[Freundt]

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

@Freundt Have a look at this extension and application

Edge Browser: Telephone Number Detection - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

Installable program: Teams and SfB Wizard (lyncwizard.com)

And here is the 5 minutute-solution to my problem :)

1. Download the Telephone Number Detection for the Browser (Edge and Chrome available).
2. Choose Settings of the extension and set Protokoll to tel: 
3. Windows Standard Apps ->Set Procoll for Tel = Teams 
4. 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.
