New dial-in conferencing feature coming to Microsoft Teams

ITS is updating current campus Microsoft licenses to a new version that will allow all faculty and staff to take advantage of the dial-in conferencing capabilities of Microsoft Teams. After the new licensing is applied, you will be able to schedule meetings in Teams and have attendees join meetings by calling a toll free phone number instead of using the Teams app. As the new licensing is applied, you will receive an automated email letting you know your conference phone number and associated PIN. Please watch your inbox for an email like the example below in the coming week. We recommend that you save this email for future reference.

For more information on using Teams for meetings, see Holding Virtual Meetings Using Microsoft Teams (Best Practices).
