GoDaddy Office 365 Audio Conferencing for Teams

September 6, 2022

GoDaddy offers a version of Microsoft Office 365 that is commonly used by companies setting up hosted email. There are some downsides with the GoDaddy version of Office 365 and one of them is you are not able to add audio conferencing for Microsoft Teams. There are other issues with the GoDaddy implementation that will hopefully be fixed at some point but we haven’t seen much improvement when it comes to new features.

For those that want to move away from GoDaddy and to a direct Microsoft CSP licensing model, we have helped clients accomplish that and not have to migrate to a new Office 365 tenant. That full migration process can be time-consuming and expensive. See more here.

If you are happy with GoDaddy but still need to add a dial-in number for Microsoft Teams, there is now a way to do it!
