Microsoft has revealed that interoperability between Azure Communication Services and Teams will hit general availability in December.
First announced at the Microsoft Ignite event in March, the combination means that users of an application built on the ACS platform can interact with users of Microsoft Teams.

The second Ignite event of the year has now seen the vendor confirm that the integration will step out of preview early next month.
Kristin Dunning, Director of Product Marketing for Azure at Microsoft, said: "One of the key things we continue to learn from developers is that their business’ need the control and flexibility to integrate custom voice and video communication into everyday customer experiences, without the burden of owning and operating the infrastructure needed for scale.
"Our objective is to help developers easily build those customizable communication experiences across platforms, purpose-built for scenarios ranging from healthcare professionals delivering remote care, to finance advisors helping consumers with a loan application, or support staff helping end-users install a new product."
ACS, which was itself launched in September 2020, lets developers connect into the same technology that powers Microsoft Teams, allowing them to build communication capabilities into custom platforms.
