How do I start a call from a chat in Microsoft Teams?

To start a call:


  1. From the Chat tab, select the chat with the person you want to call. If you are not currently in a chat with someone, you will need to start a chat to call them.
  2. From the top of your chat, tap to start either a Video  Video call button or Audio  Audio call button  call. If you start the call from a group chat, you will be asked to confirm that you want to call everyone in the group.
