Microsoft Teams Voice is the ultimate communications tool for modern businesses looking to enhance efficiency, collaboration, and service. With a number of clever features, it can also integrate with the rest of your Microsoft System to enabled clearer unified communications both internally and externally.
In this guide, we will show you what it can provide for your business in detail, along with how you can integrate it with your existing systems to create a more streamlined approach to your communications.
Microsoft Teams Voice – Key Features
Enabling voice with Microsoft Teams gives your business access to a number of new features that will help to optimise your communications across teams and with your customers.
Multi-Device Support
In today’s world, collaboration also means being able to work with remote workers and team members who might be working on-the-go.
Microsoft Teams Voice allows users to make and receive calls on any device, wherever they are as long as they have an internet connection! It also provides users with the ability to transfer calls between these devices seamlessly, so in case they need to leave their desk but would like to continue the call, it is easy to transfer from their desktop or desk phone to their mobile device.
Comprehensive Call Controls
When establishing an effective telephone system, it is important that you have access to features that make operating it a breeze. Microsoft Teams Voice supports a broad range of call controls that allow users to communicate without any problems.
Some of the basic controls that it provides include:
- Group or one-on-one call making and answering from anywhere in teams, from chats, the dial pad, or the search bar
- Call merging that allows users to easily add additional people to the call at any time
- Call transferring, allowing users to transfer easily to other staff members and ring back in case there is no answer
- Call and voicemail transcription that gives you notes no matter where you are, so that users do not have to worry about missing something or forgetting to write important information down
- Apple CarPlay support so that users can join calls and meetings whilst on the go using their vehicle’s safe built-in and hands-free controls with Siri
Integration With Chat & Video
Part of streamlining your organisation and your communications means integrating voice with other tools. One of the best things about Teams Voice is its integration with the rest of your communications, giving users the ability to collaborate more effectively than ever before. More collaboration means less wasted time and increased output!
With communications all in one application, staff can seamlessly switch from chat to voice call, and from voice to video call. Users also have a centralised place for communications information, with files, conversations, chat history, call history, and call transcripts all available within one single app.
Advanced Call Management
In addition to the comprehensive basic call control features that it offers, users also get access to a number of advanced call management options. These tools provide superior communications management and enable your business to improve both internal and external communications!
- Auto Attendant allows your customers to call and navigate a simple menu system that ensures they speak to the right department or person without the need for you to manually redirect them
- Screen pop is an automatic browser pop up that gives your team all customer information that they need, right in front of them when somebody calls. CRM data, case data, and other customer information is displayed to give call operators a crystal clear image of the customer’s status and requirements
- Voice-enabled call queues and channels allow your organisation to route callers to relevant people and relevant teams of people who can then share information and collaborate seamlessly within the given channel
