call: answer
Namespace: microsoft.graph
Enable a bot to answer an incoming call. The incoming call request can be an invite from a participant in a group call or a peer-to-peer call. If an invite to a group call is received, the notification will contain the chatInfo and meetingInfo parameters.
The bot is expected to answer, reject, or redirect the call before the call times out. The current timeout value is 15 seconds for regular scenarios, and 5 seconds for policy-based recording scenarios.
Permissions
You do not need any permissions to answer a peer-to-peer call. You need one of the following permissions to join a group call. To learn more, including how to choose permissions, see Permissions.

Example 3: Answer a policy-based recording call
Under the Policy-based recording scenario, before a participant under policy joins a call, an incoming call notification will be sent to the bot associated with the policy. The join information can be found under the botData property. The bot can then choose to answer the call and update the recording status accordingly.
When participantCapacity
is specified in the Answer
request for a policy-based recording notification, subsequent participant joining event belonging to the same policy group will be sent out as participantJoiningNotification instead of
new incoming call notification, until number of participants that current call instance is handling has reached the number specified in participantCapacity
.
The following is an example of the incoming call notification that a bot would receive in this case.
