The basics

What is Avaya Microsoft Teams integration?

It connects your Avaya phone system to Microsoft Teams so people can handle their Avaya calls without leaving Teams. TeamMate does this with PBX Connector: each Teams user registers to their own Avaya SIP extension, and TeamMate automates the Direct Routing link and supplies the session border controllers. It works with Avaya Aura and IP Office.

In Teams

What Avaya users get in Teams.

Calls on the Teams dial pad

Teams Calls becomes a softphone on Avaya, using the user’s Avaya number or extension, on desktop, browser and mobile.

Avaya features kept

Hold, transfer and voicemail still run on Avaya. Custom soft keys put the Avaya functions you choose one tap away.

Voicemail alerts

New Avaya voicemail notifications arrive in Teams, so messages are not missed away from the desk phone.

Presence in sync

On a Avaya call, Teams shows On a Call automatically. Presence Pause stops calls ringing through to Teams during meetings.

Pro Transfer

Transfer a Avaya call to anyone in Teams, with the transfer reported back to Avaya. How Pro Transfer works

Screen pops

Show caller details from your CRM or other systems as a card in Teams before the call is answered.

Options

Keep Avaya while you move to Teams.

Teams as an Avaya phone

Each Teams user becomes an Avaya SIP extension, so people can use Teams, a desk phone or both, and you move at your own pace.

No Teams Phone licenses

The ACS Call App add-on connects Avaya to Teams without Microsoft Phone System licenses.

Presence in step

When a user is unavailable in Teams, Presence Pause can set them to Do Not Disturb on Avaya.

How it works

Avaya in Teams in three steps.

Set up your portal

Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant with minimal permissions.

Add Avaya and users

Create a SIP extension for each Teams user on Avaya and enter the details. TeamMate builds the Direct Routing link.

Make and receive calls

Avaya calls ring in Teams on desktop, browser and mobile, alongside your desk phones.

Options

Three ways to connect Avaya to Teams.

Most Avaya and Teams integrations use one of three approaches. They differ in where the call is answered and how many Avaya features come along.

Cross launch

A Teams app opens a separate Avaya softphone. Calls move out of Teams, and you support a second client on every desktop.

Twinning

Avaya also rings a separate Teams number. Calls are answered in Teams, but Avaya features are lost and each user needs an extra number or trunk.

Registration (TeamMate)

Each Teams user registers to Avaya like any SIP phone. Calls are answered in Teams with Avaya features kept and no extra number per user.

More integrations

TeamMate also connects Mitel, 3CX, BroadWorks, Metaswitch, NetSapiens, Cisco to Microsoft Teams, along with 80+ PBX types and variants tested with PBX Connector.

FAQ

Avaya and Teams questions.

Does Microsoft Teams integrate with Avaya?

Yes. TeamMate PBX Connector registers each Teams user to their own Avaya SIP extension, so Avaya calls ring on the Teams dial pad on desktop, browser and mobile.

Which Avaya systems does it work with?

Avaya Aura and IP Office. TeamMate connects over SIP, the same way a SIP phone does. Running another Avaya system? Tell us which one and we will confirm before you start.

Do we have to change our Avaya system or numbers?

No. Your numbers, call routing and carriers stay as they are. Each Teams user needs a SIP extension on Avaya, and Teams becomes another endpoint for that user.

Does Teams presence work with Avaya?

Yes. When a user is unavailable in Teams, for example in a meeting, Presence Pause can set them to Do Not Disturb on Avaya so calls follow their busy handling. This uses the standard SIP event package (RFC 6665), which Avaya supports.

Do users need a Microsoft Teams Phone license?

With PBX Connector, yes, as with any Direct Routing setup. If you would rather not buy Teams Phone licenses, the ACS Call App add-on lets users make and take calls in Teams without them.

Do we need a session border controller (SBC)?

An SBC is needed for any SIP connection to Microsoft Teams, and it is included. TeamMate runs SBCs in 9 Microsoft Azure regions, so there is nothing to install.

How is it priced, and can we try it?

It is priced per user, per month. Service providers can start with a free 30-day proof of concept on their own system.
