Open door button in Microsoft Teams

Very easy to open the door We added a new functionality to CyberGate. With this new functionality, it is even easier for your team to open the door to visitors. From now on, you don't have to open the door via the Teams dial pad but simply click on the new "Open door" button on your screen. 

Open door buttonWhen someone rings your (Video) door Intercom, you can click on the new "open door button" to allow visitors to enter. The button will be situated on the right-hand side of your screen. This means no more remembering and entering pin codes; just clicking your mouse to open the door.PrerequisitesThe open door button functionality will only function on the Desktop version of Microsoft Teams (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) and in the browser version of Microsoft Teams. So mobile devices are not supported for now. Microsoft does not support in-call apps on mobile devices at the moment.

Configuration

1. Configure open door code in CyberGate management portal




Go to the CyberGate management portal and log in with your tenant credentials.
Go to: ‘Basic’ -> ‘Device’ and select the edit button of the device for which you want to configure the open door button. Fill in the ‘Open door code’ (this must match exactly with the open door code configured in the device itself).
Click on the ‘Update’ button.

Now every time the (Video) Door Intercom calls you, the CyberGate app will be available in the call window.
