MS Teams Yealink Phones - Assign Line Keys

This article is to show how to assign Line Keys to Teams Phones. Specifically in this article a Yealink MP56 Teams Phone was used.

Prerequisites

The phone’s firmware must be updated to the latest firmware.

  • Phones 1449/1.0.94.2025084203 or later 
  • Sidecars 1449/1.0.94.2025165302 or later

Set up the delegates for the users. For example, if John Smith is going to be able to make and receive calls for multiple people, then the people who he can accept calls for will need to add him as a delegate as well as he adding them as a delegate. Once the delegates are set up then the users will need to change their settings to allow calls to ring the delegates.

You can do this with the Teams Desktop Client as shown in the screenshot below.

You can also do this from the Yealink Phone as shown in the screenshots below.
