Enable a bot to answer an incoming call. The incoming call request can be an invitation from a participant in a group call or a peer-to-peer call. If an invitation to a group call is received, the notification contains 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.
This API supports the following PSTN scenarios:
Incoming call to bot's PSTN number and then bot invites another PSTN.
Incoming call to bot's PSTN number and then bot transfer to another PSTN.
Incoming call to bot's PSTN number and then bot redirects to another PSTN.
Incoming call to bot's instance identifier and then bot invites another PSTN.
Incoming call to bot's instance identifier and then bot transfer to another PSTN.
Incoming call to bot's instance identifier and then bot redirects to another PSTN.
Incoming call to bot's instance identifier from Scheduled Meeting and then bot invites PSTN.
Outgoing call from bot (with instance identifier) to a PSTN.
P2P call between bot and another peer (Teams user, PSTN), bot invites another PSTN.
P2P call between bot and another peer (Teams user, PSTN), bot invites another Teams user.
Bot join the scheduled meeting and then invite PSTN.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it.

Application
Calls.JoinGroupCall.All
Calls.JoinGroupCallAsGuest.All
Note: For a call that uses application-hosted media, you also need the Calls.AccessMedia.All permission. You must have at least one of the following permissions to ensure that the source in the incoming call notification is decrypted: Calls.AccessMedia.All, Calls.Initiate.All, Calls.InitiateGroupCall.All, Calls.JoinGroupCall.All, Calls.JoinGroupCallAsGuest.All. The source is the caller info in the incoming call notification. Without at least one of these permissions, the source will remain encrypted.
In the request body, provide a JSON object with the following parameters.
Parameter
Type
Description
callbackUri
String
Allows bots to provide a specific callback URI for the concurrent call to receive later notifications. If this property isn't set, the bot's global callback URI is used instead. I must be https.
acceptedModalities
String collection
The list of accepted modalities. Possible values are: audio, video, videoBasedScreenSharing. Required for answering a call.

Under the Policy-based recording scenario, before a participant under policy joins a call, an incoming call notification is 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 events belonging to the same policy group is sent out as participantJoiningNotification instead of
new incoming call notification, until a number of participants that the 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.
