    Hi from Paris (France). How does Azure communication services works with companies with subsidiaries on several countries, how does the technical implementation works (phone country code) and pricing?

        we use only one Azure region (europe), how can we implement this solution to any users in their teams app as our users are across different countries

    Hi Azure Communications, We want to add calling functionality to our Web Forms App so we have a few questions Is there SDK support for .NET web apps at all? is the video calling feature available for trial using the free trial credits? Do we have to use node.Js if we want a web app? We want to stick to .NET as much as possible. Can I call any team user in my organisation based on their teamId? And finally if we use the windows desktop client do we have to set up a teams user for that client? Thanks

      Hi Joseph. It looks like you are developing an application that will be used by a Microsoft Teams user, is that correct? Communication as Teams user - An Azure Communication Services concept document | Microsoft Learn.
       
      In this case, yes, you can use the Azure Communication Services SDK to call any Microsoft Teams user in your organization by specifying their AAD object ID (what you called their Team ID). The user will see an incoming call notification in their Teams client or your app. You can use the JavaScript SDK in a ASP.NET application without using Node.js. You can use webpack to compress your JavaScript code along with the SDK and serve this from the wwwroot folder in you ASP.NET application.
       
      Can you provide a little more detail about your use case involving a desktop client? Will this client be used by your users, the same way they would use the web client? If so, then you just need to provide the AAD based authentication experience for them, the same as for web, and then the client can be used to call other Microsoft Teams users in your organization.
       
      And lastly, yes, the free trial credits can be used for video calling. Hope that helps.

        Thanks for the quick reply. We have a kiosk that we want visitors to make calls to members in the organisation we tried setting it as a user in teams but we donโ€™t want the user of the kiosk to be able to hang up and do stuff with the call. We looked into having a bot initiate the call but it still gives too much control to the kiosk user.
