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

at a minimum, the meeting invite should be modified so the phone number and pin appear in the location field separated by a comma and ending in a # (phone number, Pin#).
Currently the meeting invite is formatted in HTML and it does not display properly on cell phones. if you click on what looks like the phone number, it dials a foreign country code because there is a %20 separating the country code from the phone number. also, the meeting ID is separated from the phone number.

This is quite an issue in Germany and many other european states as there are heavy fines for using mobile phones when driving (disregarding the general supidity of something like that).
The result of the this situation is, that using Teams in any manner in-car is - in fact - prohibited by law unless there'd be an Android Auto/Car Play Intergration.

This feature would not only be a useful convenience, but would also encourage safe driving practices. Without it, most people will not do without using Teams...they will use their phone instead, leading to fewer eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

As we can see the original idea on Feb 10, 2018, over a year, but Microsoft didn't make it, hopefully enable the carplay for teams ASAP. :-)

Zoom and even WhatsApp support this functionality. We are a mobile society. Why would a safety related feature be put onto a backlog?
I don’t know what the dev effort required is but it’s likely not very much. Please re-evaluate and ********* the roadmap ASAP!!

Even just the ability to say "Send a message on teams" would be handy from the car, would be great to be able to let colleagues know if I'm running late!

I sure hope this is created for Apple CarPlay. Zoom has it and it is very handy to join a Zoom meeting so would be great to have same thing with MS Teams!

Was about to post my own about this. Andoid auto support would be great to be able to join meetings (audio only), mute/unmute yourself, get reminders, even read chats aloud etc.
