A new security feature is being added to Teams to help organizations detect and stop voice-based scams and phishing attacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new \u201cReport a Call\u201d button will allow users to flag suspicious one-to-one calls directly from their Teams call history.<\/p>\n As use of Microsoft Teams calling continues to grow, attackers are increasingly using voice calls to trick employees into sharing credentials, financial details, or sensitive business information.<\/p>\n Until now, users had no easy way to report such calls, leaving security teams with limited visibility into these threats.<\/p>\n With this update, a new \u201cReport a Call\u201d option will appear in the call history for one-to-one calls on Teams for Windows<\/a>, Mac, and the web.<\/p>\n Users will be able to click the three-dot \u201cmore options\u201d menu next to a call entry and select \u201cReport a Call\u201d if they believe it is suspicious, a scam, or an unwanted external contact.<\/p>\n When a call is reported, Microsoft says that only limited call metadata and contextual information will be shared with the organization and Microsoft.<\/p>\n This includes details such as the call time and duration, caller ID (if available), Teams user IDs of the participants, and the user\u2019s reason for reporting, if they choose to provide it. No call audio is mentioned as being shared.<\/p>\nHow the \u2018Report a Call\u2019 Feature Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n
