32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

Teams audio DSCP value
Teams marks real-time audio traffic with DSCP 46, the Expedited Forwarding class, so network devices can prioritize voice over bulk traffic.
Teams video DSCP value
Teams marks real-time video traffic with DSCP 34, the Assured Forwarding 41 class, enabling QoS queues to prioritize video differently from audio and sharing.
Teams screen-sharing DSCP value
Teams marks screen-sharing and application-sharing traffic with DSCP 18, Assured Forwarding 21, which lets QoS policies treat sharing below audio and video priority.
Guest access
Guest access lets people outside the organization sign in with a guest account to access teams, channels, and files while remaining governed by external collaboration settings.
External access
External access, or federation, lets users in another Microsoft 365 organization chat and call with your users without creating guest accounts in your directory.
Meeting policy
A Teams meeting policy is assigned to users or groups and controls meeting features such as lobby behavior, anonymous join, recording, transcription, chat, and screen sharing.
Teams expiration policy
A Teams expiration policy automatically removes inactive teams after a set period; owners receive notifications and can renew the team before deletion.
Network Assessment Tool
The Microsoft Teams Network Assessment Tool tests network connectivity and call quality to Teams endpoints, including required UDP ports and latency, jitter, and packet loss.
Town hall
A Teams town hall is a large one-to-many event where presenters share content and attendees primarily view; attendee cameras and microphones are not enabled by default.
Webinar registration
Webinar registration collects attendee details before an event and can require approval; organizers use registration data for communications and attendance reporting.
Meeting lobby
The lobby holds participants before they enter a Teams meeting; meeting policies and meeting options determine which users bypass it.
Cloud recording storage
Teams cloud recordings are stored in OneDrive for non-channel meetings and SharePoint for channel meetings; access follows the recording owner and sharing permissions.
Live transcript
Live transcription converts meeting speech to text in real time; transcription policy settings control whether organizers and participants can start or view transcripts.
Breakout rooms
Breakout rooms divide a Teams meeting into smaller sub-meetings; organizers can assign participants manually or automatically and manage room timing.
Meeting template
A meeting template stores predefined meeting options in Teams admin center and can be applied to meetings to enforce consistent settings.
Anonymous join
Anonymous join allows unauthenticated users to enter a Teams meeting through a meeting link; meeting policy controls whether anonymous users are allowed.
Auto attendant
A Teams auto attendant answers calls and routes them through menus, such as dial-by-name or directory search, using a licensed resource account.
Call queue
A Teams call queue distributes incoming calls to a group of agents using routing methods such as round robin, serial, longest idle, or attraction.
Direct Routing
Direct Routing connects your own certified Session Border Controller and SIP trunk to Teams Phone System so you can use an external PSTN carrier.
Calling Plan
A Microsoft Calling Plan provides PSTN numbers and domestic or international calling minutes hosted by Microsoft, assigned to users and service accounts.
Voice routing policy
A voice routing policy assigns PSTN usage records to users; each PSTN usage links to voice routes that determine how calls reach the PSTN.
Dial plan normalization
Dial plan normalization rules convert dialed numbers into E.164 format before routing, so Teams can match them to users, numbers, and routes.
Emergency address
An emergency address is a validated civic location associated with a phone number so emergency calls route to the correct public safety answering point.
Session Border Controller
An SBC is a certified gateway between Teams Direct Routing and a PSTN carrier; it handles SIP signaling, media, security, and interoperability.
Teams Rooms resource account
A Teams Rooms resource account is a room mailbox paired with a Teams Rooms license; it represents the room and signs in the Teams Rooms device.
Teams Rooms Pro
Teams Rooms Pro is a license that includes the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal, advanced device management, and meeting room features beyond the Standard license.
Teams admin center devices
The Teams admin center Devices section inventories Teams Rooms, phones, panels, and collaboration bars, showing health, software version, and update actions.
Configuration profile
A configuration profile in Teams admin center applies settings such as network, peripherals, and sign-in options to assigned Teams Android devices.
Teams panel
A Microsoft Teams panel is a touchscreen mounted outside a meeting room for scheduling, checking in, and viewing room availability; it uses a resource account.
Update ring
An update ring controls when Teams devices receive software or firmware updates, allowing staged rollout and reducing disruption across a room fleet.
Conditional access
Conditional access policies can require compliant or trusted devices and specific sign-in conditions before Teams Rooms or personal devices access Microsoft 365.
Hot desking
Hot desking lets users sign in to shared Teams phones or displays with their own account, preserving personal calendar, calls, and meetings.
