Hello I have a question about Teams for Android Auto. Is this ever going to be updated into something useful? Currently it doesn't do anything other then attempt to display messages received. This sole "feature" does not even work. I get messages on my laptop and my phone but nothing comes through AA. There is no ability to take a call through the AA system nor is there an ability to join calls through it. I fully understand there are limits for a car based system due to safety concerns, but this the current product is currently half-baked and broken. Is there anything on the road map to improve the app? I've tried all the usual recommendations of updating, clear cache, reinstalling etc. My phone is a S22 Ultra and I have the most up to date Teams and Android Auto Apps. Can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks

My company uses Teams Calling. Not having Android Auto is a huge safety problem because we get all our business phone calls through the Teams app. How is it that the app doesn't use the native call handling features in Android Auto? Isn't this a requirement from Google to ensure that all calling can be done safely when someone is using Android Auto?Like the other commenters, I am shocked that this isn't a feature on the roadmap given its impact on safety. The Teams Calling Plan isn't a complete phone-replacement solution until this is addressed.

Therese_Solimeno Thank you for that link. I didn't notice any reference to Android Auto, I assume this is something that will not be updated in the near future.

Therese_Solimeno, any updates since this reply? There is still no mentions of android auto on the roadmap.

Hi someguy23 I am having the same Problems with S22 Ultra. I can call people using my Phone but if someone calls me via teams i am getting no notification on my screen. I can answear the call via my phone. Really frustrating. Hope they will fix this fast...

dbuerer Same here: we are an enterprise Microsoft customer with more than 10k users on teams and we need the support for Android auto asap, it is a safety problem! How could MS ignore this...

someguy23, thanks for asking about this. The low hanging fruit IMO is deploying the ability to make a call to a teams contact through integration with google voice assistant. Until then, one will resort to making standard calls while on the road.

  I invite all to go upvote this post which should get more attention from MS.
