Microsoft Teams Integration

Microsoft Teams Integration

πŸ“Ή Microsoft Teams Integration

We are excited to announce our video conferencing integration with Microsoft Teams.

As we further our market leading position for enterprise readiness, organizations will now be able to collaborate over Teams for high bandwidth conversations as they tackle incidents.

  • Create a Teams bridge automatically whenever an incident starts
  • Automatically bookmark Teams bridge to incident channel for easy access
  • Edit/replace Teams bridge link (e.g. if an existing one is already in use)
  • Leverage workflows to dynamically create Teams bridge (e.g. only SEV0 and SEV1 require a call)

Our Teams integration sits alongside other video conferencing tools already supported such as Zoom, Google Meet, Slack Huddles, Webex, and more.
