Set the phone numbers included on invites in Microsoft Teams
Audio Conferencing in Microsoft 365 and Office 365 enables users in your organization to create Microsoft Teams meetings, and then allow users to dial in to those meetings using a phone number.
A conferencing bridge gives you a set of dial-in phone numbers for your organization. All of them can be used to join the meetings that a meeting organizer has created, but you can select which ones will be included on their meeting invites.
In addition to the phone numbers included in the meeting invite for a meeting organizer, there is also a link located at the bottom of each meeting invite that opens the full list of all dial-in phone numbers that can be used to join a meeting.
Note
We are frequently updating how you can manage features, so the steps here might be a little different from what you see.
Initial assignment of phone numbers that are included in the meeting invites for users
The phone numbers included in the meeting invites of users enabled for Audio Conferencing are defined in the TeamsAudioConferencingPolicy that's assigned to users. When a TeamsAudioConferencingPolicy is assigned to a user, all toll and toll-free phone numbers added in the policy are included in meeting invites for users who have that policy. If a user is assigned a TeamsAudioConferencingPolicy and there aren't any toll or toll-free phone numbers added to the policy, then in that case the phone numbers that appear in the meeting invites of these users are defined by the default conferencing toll phone number and the default conferencing toll-free phone number in each individual user's settings.
Note
Toll or toll-free phone numbers added to the TeamsAudioConferencingPolicy of a user take precedence over the phone numbers set individually using the default conferencing toll phone number and the default conferencing toll-free phone number in a user's settings.
As noted above, In addition to phone numbers, each meeting invite contains a link that opens the full list of all dial-in phone numbers that can be used to join a given meeting.
Important
It can take up to 24 hours for the assigned phone numbers to show up on your meeting invite. If you aren't seeing updated numbers appear, please wait at least 24 hours before contacting support.
New users
The toll and toll-free phone numbers included in meeting invites for new users are also defined by the TeamsAudioconferencingPolicy that's assigned to those users. By default, all new users are assigned the Global TeamsAudioconferencingPolicy. The Global policy doesn't have any phone numbers added (Unless this is changed by the Tenant Administrator). In this case the phone numbers that get included in the meeting invites of users enabled for Audio Conferencing are defined by the default conferencing toll phone number and the default conferencing toll-free phone number found in each user's settings.
For a new user, the default conferencing toll numbers is assigned based on the Usage Location set in the Microsoft 365 administration center of the user when the user is enabled for the Audio Conferencing service. If there's a toll number in the conference bridge that matches the country/region of the user, that number will be automatically assigned as the default toll number of the user. If there isn't one, the number that's defined as the default toll number of the conference bridge will be assigned as the default toll number of the user.
Once the user is enabled for the Audio Conferencing service, the default toll and toll-free phone numbers of the user can be changed by the tenant administrator from their initial values as needed.
