Audio-only conference calls are a great alternative for those who can't join video meetings. This wikiHow will teach you how to create conference calls in Microsoft Teams. You'll be able to access your organization's product licenses from https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/users, but you may need to purchase additional licenses to continue with conference calls (which you can find at Microsoft's calling plan page).

Steps

1
Go to http://admin.teams.microsoft.com/ in a web browser. You can use any web browser to access your team and set up a conference call.
- Login with an admin account. You can't use a personal account to log in.
2
Click
next to "Voice." You'll see the arrow in the vertical menu on the left side of the page.
3
Click Phone numbers. It'll be in the menu that expands when you click the arrow.
4
Click Add. It's next to a plus sign towards the top of the page.
5
Fill out the form. You'll need to enter your country or region, number type, location, area code, and the desired amount of phone numbers.
- If you don't know how to answer a field, the information marker next to these prompts will usually explain what you should enter.
6
Click Enter. It's at the bottom of the form and Microsoft Teams will set up your phone numbers.
- You can share these with your organization, but a call-in number will be included in any Meeting invitation that's sent out.^{[1]
