Please extend the Teams Mobile App to work with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
I'm often on the road and my company relies heavily on online meetings :-) So, we are starting to leverage Teams meetings more and more, so when I'm in my car I need an easy way to join meetings and maybe also read messages. While this is way easier now, than it was in SfB Mobile (thanks!) it would be awesome to have an Android Auto / Apple CarPlay Extension to have a somewhat easier and "nearly hands-free" user experience. This would make me much more productive, even if I'm traveling :-)

The feature team has this on their backlog officially now. We don’t have any timing to share at this point, but we will keep you posted.
Thanks,
Alex & the Teams team

Are there any news on this topic? As our team members are on the road often, handsfree joining a teams meeting via voice (in my case Siri) shortcut still requires the user to tap the "join" button. That's very outdated.

Our Service Engineers on Android phones are unable to answer their calls through Teams.
We are now forced to call their mobile phone number, which means others can't see their status while they're in a call, and will call straight through the phone call on the carkit.
Received multiple complaints about this.Apple CarPlay has support now.
Still no estimation on google Android Auto? -

You would think this would be a priority for the MS Team. No update since 2019? Really?

Yeah, have managers complaining they miss calls as they have to stop the car to answer, by then the caller has hung up. Please make this work ASAP. Our staff with iphones, no issues.

I have AA and have recently started seeing new notifications coming through when being messaged through Teams the same as Whatsapp would, I can respond to these messages but I haven't figured out if you can start a new conversation through Teams or start a voice call. I can only respond to messages coming through. Voice calls can be answered but only by the button on the phone (dangerous whilst driving). These shouldn't be hard issues to fix. the fact it's been in the works since 2019 is a bit sad.

I got a message from a general teams manager this is his update
circlign back on this, TAP for both CarPlay and Android Auto will start in Feb, hopefully GA around end of this quarter. However both will be limited in scenarios based on the capabilities of the platforms. so for example on CarPlay initial support will be limited to calling (ie. "Siri, call 'NAME' on Teams"), not meetings or calendaring

I have send some messages on linkedin to several MS managers about this issue, no respons.
I also found (Alex)andra Olsen the admin on linkedin , but i don't have a premium account to message her.. maybe someone else can? here info stated on linkedin says
''Super passionate about customers, and ensuring a super high quality, productive & enjoyable experience with our products, services, and content.''not for android auto and Apple users i think ;)

This was happening on my iPhone 7. I just upgraded to iPhone Xr with iOS 14.3 and it still happens. You've had this on the backlog since 2019. It's pretty pathetic that it hasn't been fixed yet.

Hello, I use teams all day long for communications. After Team mobile app update several month back, my Carplay will CRASH every time I have a call from teams.
The car multimedia will reboot until I unplug the USB.
I am asking Microsoft to urgently fix this issue -

Another thing I noticed a while back, when you were connected to android auto and used the dial in option, it would not send the keys over unless you disconnect from android auto

Android Auto in such difficult time when you have to work everywhere except Office would be great solution. CarPlay announced, so when AA will be available?
