Setup click‑to‑call for Microsoft Teams to make it easier and more efficient to make phone calls by using the click-to-call feature. With this feature, users can start a call with a single click-on a phone number on a webpage or applications that support the built-in Windows click-to-call feature, so there is no need to manually dial the full phone number. This saves time, allowing more time to focus on the conversation, and it also helps guarantee that the right person is contacted, which can be especially beneficial when extra security is needed.
Click-to-call can be enabled for Microsoft Teams in less than 5 minutes. These instructions can be used to enable click-to-call for any application that is registered with Windows as supporting TEL links.
