  2. Turn on Teams calls.

    By default, the following options are turned on:

    • Answer incoming calls in Dynamics 365 Allows sellers to receive Teams calls in Dynamics 365 Sales. If you turn it off, sellers can only make outgoing Teams calls from within Dynamics 365.
    • Internal call will ring only in the Teams app, not in Dynamics 365 Indicates that calls from internal users won't ring and won't be tracked in Dynamics 365. In this case, calls from external contacts will ring in Dynamics 365 and internal calls will ring only in Teams. You can clear the checkbox if you want sellers to receive both external and internal calls in Dynamics 365.
    • In the Enable for section, select one of the following options to provide permissions to users to view Microsoft Teams dialer:
      • All security roles: Select this option to provide access to view Microsoft Teams dialer to users in all the security roles in your organization.
      • Specific security roles: Select this option to specify security roles when you want to give access to view Microsoft Teams dialer to specific users.
  3. Turn on the Recording with real-time transcription and insights toggle to allow sellers to record calls by using the Teams dialer and get the most out of every call with advanced conversation intelligence capabilities such as AI-powered insights, rich call summaries, and more.

    • In the Enable for section, select one of the following options to provide permissions to users to record calls:
      • All security roles: Select this option to allow call recording by all the security roles in your organization.
      • Specific security roles: Select this option to allow call recording only by specific security roles.

    Tip

    • To implement the call recording capability in your entire organization, select All security roles.
    • For a phased implementation in your organization, create different security roles for each group of users and then assign the security role accordingly.
