My Teams Client does not have a Phone Plan, so I can’t dial 911 from my Teams Client, does this violate Kari’s Law?
As an example, I’m working from home, and my child sees me making internal calls with my co-workers. I have an emergency and my child tries to call 911 but can’t, thru MS Teams.
Thx
In this case. It is only a violation of the law if your Teams infrastructure is configured to access the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and you have not configured Teams emergency call routing policy.
