Additionally, we are GDPR and EUDB compliant.In order for us to help you better, can you share the use case you want to enable?- MauriceHANCopper Contributorwe 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 Howard, hope you're doing well and not having too much smoke in Boston area. Unfortunately, we don't have any insight into IPv6 for Azure but I did a little digging online and found this document Re IPv6 for Azure Virtual Network. Hopefully you will find it helpful. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/ip-services/ipv6-overview- cwo3zackCopper ContributorHopefully the smoke will be gone soon...Next question. I heard that there may be a price increase with vlan connections between zones?

- Warrior1765Copper ContributorHi 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.- Warrior1765Copper ContributorThanks 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 donโt 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.
