If you are in a meeting just click “Invite People” and type a phone number - it will call them. We have the “Team for Business”. Whatever that means.
They will almost assuredly not answer because its an 800 Number, and requires them to press [n] to join call. But you can do it.
If you don’t have a meeting just make one with only you - Which is coincidentally a great way to fill a calendar, and look busy to your coworkers. They ignore Busy status. When I’m in a “meeting”, it doesn’t even ring when they bother me.
We have teams for business but I would bet the call out feature is blocked. We started using zoom for management level meetings because a r supervisor who was on vacation needed to be included. So either management doesn’t know about the call out feature (entirely likely) or our IT blocks it.
Now I’m curious, maybe I’ll try calling my cell phone on Monday to see if it works or not.
I think that might be a licensing issue. The call out feature is not included in the base Teams licence. You’ll need an audio conferencing for Teams licence (included in E5) on the account of the guy who created the meeting to have the call out feature enabled.
Well I’m guessing then that we don’t have that licensing.
*update - I finally got a chance to try calling out while on a teams call, I can dial but there’s no call button and nothing happens when I hit enter. Confirmed, we do not have the call out feature…at least at my level and below don’t have it, can’t speak for management.
I can call a phone number from Teams?
