Below you will find the answers to the questions we get asked most frequently about. If you can’t find the answer you are looking for please contact us.
Speech analytics is a feature available as part of 8x8’s Contact Center solution. Calls handled by 8x8 Contact Center can be recorded and analyzed via speech analytics.
Yes, overhead paging is supported.
Teams users will not be able to leverage 8x8 Call Park.
Standard Configurable address per user is provided by 8x8.
Support for dynamic location is not available.
No. Because user endpoints (soft clients, or Microsoft Teams phones) are on the Microsoft Teams network, 8x8 cannot monitor the quality of those endpoints. However, Microsoft does provide some statistics on the quality over the Teams to O365 portion of the call.
Any call that uses the 8x8 network can be recorded, such as Teams to or from the PSTN, or Teams to and from 8x8.
Direct calls between Microsoft Teams users cannot be recorded.
Because 8x8 is used to capture voicemails, those voicemails will be delivered via email.
Voicemails are not available to be viewed in the MS Teams client.
No, those calls are not tracked or recorded by 8x8.
Direct transfer to a call queue or ring group is supported.
Consultative transfer is not supported.
In general, any call placed or received in Microsoft Teams that touches the 8x8 network will be captured and available in 8x8 Analytics. Information that will not be captured in 8x8 Analytics includes:
Microsoft Teams itself does not natively support SMS, and the 8x8 Voice for Teams integration extends only to back-end processes, not to embedded integrations or applications. So 8x8 SMS and Meetings are not supported features of 8x8 Voice for Teams. If needed, a service administrator can provide their users with access to 8x8 Work credentials so they can log into Work Desktop and use features such as SMS and Meetings.
While it's possible to use the 8x8 Work Desktop and Work Mobile apps with Voice for Teams, it is generally not recommended. Calls made using these apps will not appear in the Microsoft Teams interface, and Teams to Teams calls will not appear in Work Desktop or Work Mobile.
Only Microsoft Teams browser, phone, and app endpoints should be used.
