Microsoft Teams and Teams Voice
Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform built around group chat instead of email. It can also be used to host online meetings and, for Western employees, make or receive telephone calls. (Students can call other Teams users, but only employees can make and receive external calls using 10-digit numbers).
