| More Information |

Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: Third-party application developers will be able to extend the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) calling experience with contextual information, making it possible for Teams users to have access to relevant data without leaving the call experience. This feature will make it possible for developers to bring additional context and workflow integration into calling experiences and make customer-facing professionals more efficient by having data from line of business applications readily available. This functionality is available for developers to integrate their applications and add new functionality to calls. This message applies to Teams on Windows and Mac desktops. When this will happen:Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early February 2025 (previously mid-January) and expect to complete by mid-February 2025 (previously late January) General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously mid-February) and expect to complete by early March 2025 (previously late February). How this will affect your organization:This feature only applies if you or your developers create a new personal scope Tab app and pin it for your users. This change will be available by default for admins to configure. The new calling extensions section to pin apps in Teams admin center: What you need to do to prepare:No need to prepare if you are not planning to build apps to extend PSTN calling experience in Teams. If you want to build a personal scope Tab app for Teams PSTN calling, we will update this message with the documentation when rollout begins. This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your developers and users about this change and update any relevant documentation. |
