How to make outbound calls with Microsoft Teams Voice.

The outbound call is the most common feature you'll wield in Microsoft Teams Voice. Outbound calls are calls to a landline or mobile phone number using the Microsoft Teams Voice interface. Unlike Microsoft Teams calls to your colleagues, you can't search for a name or number (unless you have already saved the number to your contacts), you'll need to need to manually type in the number into the 'calls' interface.
