Teams und SIP-Telefone

Im August 2020 wurde in einem Blog-Eintrag zu Teams nicht nur eine weitere Unterstützung von 3PIP-Phones angekündigt, sondern sogar die Nutzung von klassischen SIP-Telefonen für 1HJ2021 angekündigt.

We also realize that being able to use existing hardware can provide important cost savings when moving to a new phone system. Today, we are announcing extended support for Skype for Business (3PIP) phones beyond 2023, so you can continue to use your existing Skype for Business phones as you move to Teams. Additionally, we will be supporting core calling features on SIP phones from Cisco, Yealink, Polycom, and others with Teams. Support for SIP phones will be available in the first half of 2021.
