Make a call in Microsoft Teams (free)

In Microsoft Teams (free) you can make a one-to-one or group call with up to 20 participants from any of your chats.

Tip: If you want to host a call with more than 20 participants, create an instant meeting or schedule a meeting.

To start a call:

From the Chat tab, select the chat with the person you want to call. If you’re not currently in a chat with someone, you’ll need to start a chat to call them.
From the top of your chat, tap to start either a Video or Audio 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.
