如何从外部应用程序发起 Microsoft Teams 通话（最好是视频）？

Question

I want to build an application which can initiate Teams video call to certain users.

The application will be running on a stand alone machine(like a kiosk) and upon a certain event, the application should be able to start a teams call to one more more users.

What is the best way to do this? Following are my questions -

1. Does the Teams need to run under a resource account on that machine?

2. Does this need the help of a teams bot? If it needs a bot, does it need to have a teams account associated with it?

3. Do I need Microsoft graph to make the call? Does graph support video call?

4. Can the Microsoft Teams Rooms be used in any way to achieve this?

I have been reading different documents which seem to offer some aspect of what I want, but not sure what is the best way here. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

We can initiate a Microsoft Teams call from an external application, We can create a call using an Graph API using an external application. When a call is created need to mention the requestedModalities where audio/video/videoBasedScreenSharing can be define for a call. please check the properties in Call resource type .
