Empowering Emergency Calling: The Power of Dynamic e-911 for Teams Users’ Location Detection
Dynamic e-911 provides the ability to dynamically detect a Teams user’s location for emergency calling. Today, e-911 is available for users in admin configured locations on enterprise networks only.
With more and more Teams users working remotely, automatically obtaining the location in these scenarios is important to ensure timely emergency response.
If users consent and their admin enables it, Teams e-911 can now dynamically lookup the location users from non-admin configured locations such as their home.
Dynamic emergency calling for non-admin defined locations will be off by default.
Admins must enable the External location Lookup Mode attribute in the Teams Emergency Calling policy, users must consent to location detection and users must be enterprise voice and emergency calling enabled.
Admin or auto-detected dynamic addresses on Calls App depending on users’ current location
The ability to edit and save non-admin defined dynamic addresses.
Users will not be able to edit admin defined location.
Users will be prompted to add emergency addresses if it is not autodetected.
Users can continue to manually add dynamic emergency addresses even if location auto-detection consent has been turned-off.
If you desire to utilize Teams e-911, it needs to be enabled for all targeted enterprise voice users by appropriately configuring the Teams Emergency Calling Policy and External Lookup Mode.
Users should also be instructed to consent to sharing their location to Teams as well as ensure their location is accurate by acknowledging and/or editing and then saving it.
The new feature is rolling out on Teams desktop, web and mobile. It will unfortunately only be available in USA.
