MSTeams Integration using TeamMate Connector

Welcome to the 2600Hz Guide to Getting Started with MS Teams!

We’ve partnered with TeamMate Technology to provide MS Teams direct routing integration to our Hosted, Private, and Global customers. This article will provide you with all the information that you need to get started.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, we will be providing you links to TeamMate Technology’s extensive documentation on setting up TeamMate connector along with some tips and tricks of our own.

Pricing
Once you Integrate MSTeams using TeamMate technology you will see additional charges to your account. This will be based on the number of users you sign up for the integration:

Your KAZOO user/device license plus $2.50 for each Teams integration
- Includes the costs of TeamMate
- Does NOT include Microsoft Phone system licenses for end users
  - A Microsoft Phone System license or comparable add-on license is needed. Get more info on that here.
If you can commit to a volume of 1,000 Teams integrated users/devices, please contact sales@2600Hz.com for a volume discount.

A few tips:

When selecting the PBX Type, you may see both an option for “Kazoo” and an option for “2600Hz-Freeswitch”. Please select “Kazoo”.
You may need to restart Teams in order for the dialpad to show up. Closing MS Teams may minimize Teams in your system tray and not completely exit the application. (This threw me for a loop!) Be sure to completely exit and restart Teams.
