# MS Teams - Interact with Your Team within the App

## Interact with your team

Your teammates are grouped by their opt in/opt out status. To send a message or initiate a call, simply select a team member from the menu.

1. Under **Manage queue**, select **People.**
2. Click on the name of the person you would like to interact with. If you call a team member this way, you will have the option of choosing which phone number the outbound call uses.

## Use the dialpad

Select **Dialpad** from the bottom left corner of the window to expand the view. From there, you can place outgoing calls.

If your organization has multiple outbound numbers to choose from, you will see a dropdown appear above the **Call** button, allowing you to choose which number you’d like to place outbound calls with.

## View call history

To view past calls, including calls or voicemails you may have missed, select **Calls** under **Manage queue**.

You can select any call in your history to see more detailed information and call that number back using the number associated with your call queue.

Currently, call history includes the past calls that you have picked up or calls that you have missed that have a voicemail.

## View real-time statistics

If authorized by your IT admin, you can see real-time statistics for your call queue, such as total number of calls in the queue, average call time, and longest wait time. The available statistics are based on your admin settings, and new metrics may come available in the future.

There are two ways to find your analytics dashboard.

First, when you have a queue selected, you will see an overview for that queue at the top of **Quick access** on the left side of the Teams window.

Second, to see a wider range of analytics for all of your queues, your team members, and your auto attendants:

1. Select **Analytics** in the top right corner of the window.
2. Select the **Real-time** tab in the top left corner.
3. Select the queue, auto attendant, or team member you’d like to see the analytics for from the dropdowns.

## View historic reports

With the historic reporting feature, you can access reports on the agents, Auto attendants and Call queues that you oversee. Like real-time statistics, your access to these reports is based on admin authorization.

1. In the Queues app, select **Analytics** in the top right corner of the window.
2. Select the **Historical** tab in the top left corner.
3. Select the Auto attendant, Queue, or Agent you’d like to see the analytics for from the list.
4. Select the date range you’d like to see, and select **Apply**.

You can also export the report into an Excel document. Once you've set the date range you want, simply select the **Export** button in the top right corner of the window.

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> Historic reports are only available for the past 27 days. You can only view historic reports for call queues and auto attendants that you have access to. If you need help interpreting your historic reports, please contact your Teams administrator.
