Announcing Certified for Microsoft Teams

In addition to the benefits of Skype for Business certified devices described later in this article, you will receive new benefits from a Certified for Microsoft Teams device include:

• User notification of events and alerts from the Teams client (e.g., meeting starting, voicemail or missed call)
• Ability to activate the Teams client or respond to notification with a press of the button (e.g., to join a meeting).

Certified for Microsoft Teams peripherals will include both new devices designed from the start for Microsoft Teams as well as some currently Certified for Skype for Business devices with most of the new functionality via a firmware update.
