In the past few months, SkySwitch resellers have already shown interest in joining the Microsoft Teams Integration Beta by TeamMate Technology, so we were very excited to have Micah join us and chat about why this Microsoft Teams integration for SkySwitch is so important for the Reseller Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the webinar, moderated by SkySwitch CMO, Andy Abramson, we tackled how timely and relevant Microsoft Teams is, the traction that Microsoft Teams has been gaining over the past few months, and the significant value resellers bring to their customers by offering a combined white-labeled telecom service with native Microsoft Teams integration to customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you watch the replay below, you\u2019ll be able to view a live demo of the integration and listen in on the engaging Q+A session. We had so many great questions from the audience, all of whom were entered into the drawing to be one of three prize winners! Read on for all of the webinar highlights and to discover who the lucky winners were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Learn More About the New Microsoft Teams Integration for SkySwitch, Created by TeamMate Technology\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KsvcHH0ZJnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/skyswitch.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Teams-Integration-SkySwitch-Webinar-6-9-2020.pdf\">DOWNLOAD SLIDE DECK<br><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Microsoft Teams?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to understand how significant the Microsoft Teams integration is and the opportunities it provides resellers, it\u2019s important to highlight what\u2019s been going on in the world of Microsoft Teams. For starters, Microsoft Teams is free and included in Office 365 subscriptions. With it\u2019s fully-integrated framework and no real, viable competitors out there, we see 75 million daily active users of Microsoft Teams, and around 10 million mobile app downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The numbers don\u2019t lie, and it\u2019s clear that use of Microsoft Teams is growing rapidly \u2014 creating a massive opportunity for SkySwitch resellers to offer a solution that seamlessly integrates Cloud Voice with Microsoft Teams, and offering lots of added convenience to Office 365 power-users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Direct Routing VS The TeamMate Integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, Microsoft has made Direct Routing available, which if configured, allows users to use native Teams dialing to make and receive PSTN calls. That user is essentially a SIP trunk user who can make and receive phone calls using Microsoft teams \u2014 but the TeamMate Integration takes it one step further.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you watch the webinar replay above, you\u2019ll get a first-hand view of all the additional features that make the TeamMate Integration a robust solution that provides a much more intuitive, natural experience for the end-user. With the TeamMate integration, Microsoft Teams becomes a softphone with the ability to configure custom features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Congratulations to Our Lucky Winners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, the SkySwitch team gave away prizes with all of the attendees who participated in the Q+A session entered to win! For this week\u2019s webinar, we gave away three SkySwitch Swag Packs, each of which includes a T-Shirt, socks, popsocket and hat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations to\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gordon Beck of <a href=\"https:\/\/usaphone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USA Phone<\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andy Aloia of <a href=\"https:\/\/nexusits.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nexus VoIP<\/a><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jacob Wiley of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icisupport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Integrity Computers, Inc<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you enjoy your Swag Packs and the webinar!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join Us for SkySwitch\u2019s Next Weekly Webinar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you enjoyed this week\u2019s webinar, make sure to join us next Tuesday, June 16th at 11 AM EDT for \u201cYour Customers&#8217; Journey Fueled By Content and Support From The <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudvoicealliance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud Voice Alliance<\/a>\u201d.
