What Is the Difference Between Elevate for Teams Embedded and Elevate for Teams Direct Routing?
Both Elevate for Teams Embedded and Elevate for Teams Direct Routing deliver a fully integrated calling experience directly inside the Teams interface, including the Teams mobile and desktop apps. The Elevate for Microsoft Teams Embedded solution does not require a Microsoft Teams Phone license and supports a comprehensive set of features including enterprise-grade calling, SMS messaging, Archiving and Contact Center. Embedded gives you more control, more value, and a simplified deployment experience. Direct Routing, by contrast, requires a Microsoft Teams Phone license and is configured through Microsoft's own infrastructure, with calling accessed through the native Teams dialer.
