In Microsoft Teams, administrators can configure and manage emergency addresses for their organization. Emergency addresses are critical for emergency services to respond in case of an emergency call made by Teams users.
An emergency address in Teams is a physical address where emergency services can locate the user in case of an emergency. When a user makes an emergency call from Teams, the emergency address associated with their account is automatically transmitted to the emergency services operator.
Emergency addresses can be managed in the Teams admin center. Administrators can add, edit, or delete emergency addresses, as well as assign them to specific users. When a new emergency address is added, it needs to be validated either through manual validation or by sending a confirmation email to the email address associated with the emergency contact.
Once emergency addresses have been added and assigned to users, they cannot be deleted by the users themselves. However, users can add their own emergency addresses, which will be in addition to any addresses added by the administrator.
Emergency addresses are a crucial aspect of ensuring the safety and security of Teams users. By configuring and managing emergency addresses in Teams, organizations can ensure that emergency services can respond quickly and effectively to emergency calls made by their users.
