Call Tab
The Calls tab within Microsoft Teams is where your dial pad to make phone calls will be located along with your voicemail, speed dial (favorites), call history, and more.
- Speed Dial: create speed dial contacts (favorites) to easily contact colleagues/departments
- Contacts: create and manage calling contacts
- History: view your call history
- Voicemail: read or listen to Voicemails
- Dial a number: click to reveal a dial pad to call internal or external numbers
No More Extensions
Memorizing 4-digit extensions are a thing of the past. Instead of using 4-digit extension dialing to reach colleagues, you can search for any SPU user in the search bar of Teams by typing part of their name or email address and then initiating an audio or video call via Teams. 
You can also call any department or external number using the Dial Pad. 
Auto-Attendants & Call Queues
Departmental phone numbers are set up in Teams Calling as auto-attendants and/or call queues. These features enable business continuity and shared answering features that are useful for departmental main phone numbers. Click here to learn more about auto-attendants and call queues.
If you want more information or are interested in setting up a call queue and auto-attendant please submit a ticket to the CIS HelpDesk by visiting spu.edu/cishelpdesk.
