Resolution
Follow these simple steps to block an incoming number in Microsoft Teams:

Open Microsoft Teams: Start by launching the Microsoft Teams application on your device.
-
Go to Calls: On the left-hand side of the screen, you’ll see a panel with several options. Click on the ‘Calls’ button.
-
Select History: After clicking on ‘Calls’, you’ll see a few tabs at the top of the screen. Click on the ‘History’ tab to view your call history.
-
Find the Number: Scroll through your call history to find the number you want to block. Once you’ve found it, click on the number.
-
Block the Number: After clicking on the number, a menu will appear on the right side of the screen. In this menu, you’ll see an option that says ‘Block’. Click on this option to block the number.

Confirm Block: A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm that you want to block the number. Click ‘Block’ to confirm.
