What is Call Valet with VoIP.ms Teams Connector?

The VoIP.ms Teams connector lets you link your VoIP.ms account to Microsoft Teams, so you can make and receive calls via your Microsoft Teams application, whether it’s on mobile, tablet or desktop, while still taking advantage of VoIP.ms hosted features. This connector is powered by TeamMate Technology, a third-party solution enabling seamless integration with Teams. Practically speaking, your Microsoft Teams becomes your softphone with a separate softphone application to make or receive calls. You may also link your VoIP.ms account to Microsoft Teams to send and receive text messages directly within Teams. Please note that you will need a Microsoft E1 license at the very minimum to be able to leverage this connector. For more information on Microsoft licenses, please check here.

VoIP.ms Technical Requirements

You require a PBX Connector in order to have the CallApp / Valet. For more information, visit this article to get started.

Valet (Call App) provisioning

1 - Verify licenses

002 Valet Permission.png


3 - User Groups Sync.

3.1 Once the permission has been granted, the administrator of the ConnectToTeams Portal will need to login he will be redirected to the User Group Sync page. You must select whether Users will be synchronized by specifying one or more Groups.
  • If no Group(s) are selected, then all Users of the enterprise will be synchronized.
  • If any Group(s) are selected, then only Users that belong to the Group(s) will be synchronized.


🚨 Important

The Portal WILL NOT synchronize or store Users that are not part of the selected Group(s).


The image below shows a case where two Microsoft Groups (Accounting and Billing) have been selected to be synchronized.
