Microsoft Teams audio conferencing email is legitimate

Last Monday, October 31, 2022, the dial-in (audio only) feature within Microsoft Teams expired. All other access to Teams Meetings remains available including via Mobile, Desktop, and Web Clients.

Microsoft sent an email to users this morning announcing that audio conferencing has been turned off. Many are wondering if the email is spam. We can confirm this message is legitimate. We’ve included a screenshot of the email for reference. 

Email message from Microsoft Teams sharing that the dial-in feature expired Oct 31.

Please share this announcement with your department or unit. More information about why the feature expired, recommended next steps, and alternative virtual meeting platforms is outlined in a previous IT News post.
