Known Issues and Workarounds
- Adding a 3rd person or service to a current call removes the ability to use the phone tones when pressing dial pad numbers.
- This known issue will cause problems when attempting to add a 3rd party line that involves using a call tree to navigate a menu.
- WORKAROUND:
- Put the initial call/meeting on hold.
- Dial the desired third party with the call tree separately using the dial pad in the Teams app.
- Navigate the call tree to get the third-party call connected through the menu options.
- Merge the call tree call with the initial call using More Actions (…) --> Call Merge. (See below) .
