According to the latest news, Microsoft Teams recently supported the Dynamic e911 dynamic emergency call location feature. This function can dynamically detect the user’s location. While using the software to make an alarm call, it can automatically report the location to the local PSAP answering center in the United States.
At present, this function is limited to administrators. Now it has been expanded and anyone can open it. This feature requires the consent of individual users. After it is turned on, team members can also know their current location. This function adapts to the current trend of telecommuting due to the epidemic.
By default, the dynamic emergency call function of non-administrator accounts is disabled. The administrator must enable it in the Teams Emergency Calling policy, and users must unify this service to obtain locations, and enable corporate voice calls and Emergency call features.
Extended Description of This feature:
- The service can dynamically detect the current location of the user;
- Ability to edit and save dynamic addresses defined by non-administrators;
- The user will not be able to edit the location defined by the administrator;
- If the emergency address is not detected, the system will prompt the user;
- Even if the automatic location detection function is turned off, users can manually add emergency addresses.
- This new feature will be launched on Teams desktop, web and mobile, but is only available in the United States.
