| Use a Telephony over Teams desk phone |
First, speak with your local IT office to make sure that your local network is set up to use Teams Telephony deskphones. If it is, check which of the Chorus Team's supported devices you want by looking at the supported devices page. |
| Manage Telephony over Teams notifications across different devices |
Teams notifications can be complex to manage particularly on mobile devices. Local settings will take precedence over what users set in their Teams client, which can lead to confusion. Microsoft have compiled useful guidance to help users manage their notifications on iOS and Android devices. |
