Can you receive and send MS Teams messages and calls with the Graph API with a standard school or work account?

Question

A few questions about the Graph API and Teams for you experts:

1. Can you receive and send MS Teams messages and calls with the Graph API with a standard school or work account?
2. Is there a difference between using the Graph API and regular MS Teams client or a limit with a Teams Graph API client that the regular Teams client doesn't have?
3. Does the upcoming limitation of not being able to use classic Teams apply to the Graph API client?
4. If you can do calls, is there technical documentation on the format of the video/audio of the call?

Thanks!

Hi @paulrichards-2625

You can use the Graph API to receive and send MS Teams messages and calls.

The tested performance and capacity limits of Microsoft Teams are documented in Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams. These limits apply whether using Microsoft Teams directly or using Microsoft Graph APIs. Because every team has a corresponding group, and every group is a directory object, limits on the number of groups and the number of directory objects ("resources") can also come into play.

You can refer to the documentation for details.
