Microsoft Teams has a built-in softphone. The TeamMate Connector turns that softphone into a registered endpoint on any existing SIP PBX. The Teams user experiences the native dial pad in Teams and a Teams Application with advanced PBX integration features (softkeys, portals, notifications).


You can download the app from Microsoft AppSource: TeamMate PBX Connector for VoIP.ms

Licensing - MS Licensing for the PBX and SIP Trunk Connector

These are the licenses and combinations that allow the use of Microsoft Direct Routing. The Phone System add-on license is required per user to enable the native dial-pad in Teams.

💬 NOTE

Note that other licenses may work: Teammate' system will dynamically evaluate license contents when an Enterprise commences Direct Routing setup and adds suitable licenses to the lists when new Microsoft licenses are encountered.


💬 NOTE

When purchasing phone add-on licenses we recommend purchasing ones that do NOT include the Microsoft Calling Plan. ConnecttoTeams replaces the need for this additional cost. Additionally, the Calling Plan can interfere with the provisioning process and cause delays. As of June 2022 Microsoft is in the process of retiring the "Business Voice" licenses. The most appropriate replacement for this license is "Microsoft Teams Phone Standard." Microsoft's documentation is aggressively promoting the (more expensive) license with Calling Plan. Do not accept the upselling attempts.

💬 NOTE

Additionally, as Microsoft retires the older Business Voice and Phone System licenses existing customers will be forced to migrate to the newer ones.

After the licenses are updated this may disable calling for the user. If this occurs the solution is for the global administrator to disable and re-enable each user in the ConnecttoTeams Portal. Allow propagation time between the disable and the re-enable.
