Out of all the new features 3CX V18 has to offer, there are two key updates you must know about:

#1 Microsoft Teams Integration

The 3CX Teams Integration allows Microsoft Teams users to be called by any 3CX user or external party. It also allows them to make outbound calls via 3CX SIP trunks. 

More highlights include:

• Teams charges up to $53 per user, per month for their telephony
• Uses Direct Routing (SBC Trunking) 
• Better than connecting directly via a SBC

As the number of Microsoft Teams users grows, this new integration has become a big opportunity for 3CX partners! You should leverage:

• Microsoft’s existing customer base 
• Free downloaders can trial 3CX Teams Integration (4SC) 
  • More of the hottest leads! 
• Available in the Enterprise Edition 

#2 Big Upgrade to Webmeeting

3CX’s video conferencing solution, Webmeeting, got a major upgrade! It now manages low bandwidth situations better and comes with more and better Microcontroller Units (MCUs).

Webmeeting is much more reliable now with a completely new interface and new Android and iOS apps. The portal runs on 3CX, and is no longer in the cloud. This will ensure:

• More data privacy 
• Easier dial in 
• Easier to remember URLs
