Attendant Console for Microsoft Teams
Important
(added 03-07-2025) - Starting September 2025 Microsoft will start enforcement of Phone System license checks for Bot-initiated transfers to Teams users.
This is the mechanism also used by Attendant Console for Teams so beyond this change only Teams users assigned a Phone System License and Enterprise Voice Enabled will be able to use and receive transferred calls from Attendant Console for Teams.
