Additional 8x8 Applications for Teams

8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams App

The 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams app is an optional, supplemental Teams application that allows users to easily access 8x8 user settings and features from within Microsoft Teams. By having access to the app, users can conveniently send or receive SMS texts, MMS messages, and faxes directly from Teams with their 8x8 business number.

Users can also view or listen to their business or group voicemails, and can sign in or out of assigned call queues. The 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams app also adds self-service access so that Teams users can change their 8x8 call management settings without unnecessary IT intervention.
