Using Vonage Contact Center and Microsoft Teams

When your Vonage Contact Center (VCC) account is linked to your Microsoft organization, you can link your VCC agent account to your Teams user. When linked, you'll be able to see other Teams users and their presences in ContactPad's address book.

Linking and unlinking your VCC agent account and Teams user

To see other Teams users and their presences in ContactPad's address book, you need to link your agent account to a Teams user.

2. Click Link to Microsoft Teams user.

   VCC not linked to a Microsoft account

   If the Link to Microsoft Teams user does not appear, your VCC account is not currently linked to a Microsoft account. Contact your Account Manager or Customer Success Manager.

Your VCC agent account and Teams user are linked. You can now see other Teams users and their presences in ContactPad's address book.

Working with Teams users in ContactPad

When you have linked your agent account with your Teams user, you can see other Teams users and their presences in ContactPad's address book. You can also make calls to and consult with available Teams users.

To locate and make calls to Teams users, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to ContactPad. For information about logging in to ContactPad, see Logging in to ContactPad.
2. Click Make Call. ContactPad's address book opens.
3. Type part or all of the name you want to call. As you type, up to 200 matching contacts—including Teams users—appear. If more than 200 contacts appear, and you cannot see the user you want to call, continue typing.
   
   You can identify Teams users and their presence by their icon:
   

   Icon	Teams presence
   	Available Available Idle
   	Busy Busy Idle
   	Away Do not disturb Be right back Offline

4. To make a call to an available Teams user, click their name. Continue making your call as you would any other call in ContactPad. For more information, see Making and receiving calls in ContactPad.

If you are on an existing call, to consult with an available Teams user, click Consult in ContactPad. ContactPad's address book opens and Teams users matching your search appear as described above. Continue consulting in the same way as you would using ContactPad for any other contacts.
