What is covered in this Guide?

This guide explains the basic steps to setup and maintain Business Voice for Microsoft Teams.

Prerequisites:

• Users with Microsoft Teams extensions must be set up in the Business Voice Portal

• Sangoma will need a list of the users that are required to be set up

• Sangoma will need the contact info for the Customer’s Microsoft Teams Global Admin, so that Star2Star can work with the Admin to configure Business Voice for Microsoft Teams

• Please download and collect the information as laid out in this Teams Integration Workbook

• Assign the correct Microsoft licenses allocated to each user

• There needs to be at least 1 unassigned license for the Direct Routing user to access the Domain.

• The correct license will be dependent on which M365 license you have

Customer/Enterprise Configuration

• The Sales Partner or Sangoma Sales Engineer will contact the customer and retrieve the Microsoft Teams Global Admin contact info.

• Sangoma support will contact the Microsoft Teams Global Admin to arrange a meeting to start the Business Voice for Microsoft Teams setup process.

Note: During the setup meeting Sangoma will work with the Microsoft Teams Global Admin and try to complete the entire setup while they have the admin on the call.

• Sangoma will add the customer/enterprise to the Business Voice for Microsoft Teams portal.

• Once the customer/enterprise has been added, an email will be sent to the Microsoft Teams Global Admin and we can continue with the Direct Routing steps below.

Direct Routing Configuration

Welcome Email

Once the Customer/Enterprise has been configured, the Microsoft Teams Global Admin will receive an email from the Business Voice for Microsoft Teams portal that includes a link to the Business Voice for Microsoft Teams portal and an invitation code. (See example below)

Allowing Access to the Microsoft Domain

• The Microsoft Teams Global Admin can click the link provided in the welcome email or Click the following link:

Sangoma Business Voice for Microsoft Teams Portal.

• The Microsoft Teams Global Admin will be prompted to sign in with their Microsoft Teams Global Admin credentials.

• There will be a pop-up box that asks the Microsoft Teams Global Admin to “allow access to Microsoft Domain” for the integration.

Enabling Direct Routing

Note: There needs to be at least 1 unassigned license for the Direct Routing user to access the Domain.
