> Personally, I would argue that if Teams is able to somehow interfere with dialing 911 from outside of the app, that's a major Android bug much more than a Teams bug. --The last thing you want is any app to be able to interfere with emergency calls whether it's intentional or not.
Ironically, Microsoft wrote a lot about compatibility in Windows and all the tricks they used to make sure apps that were using APIs wrong (or just flat out pulled crazy stunts to hook themselves into Windows) could still run fine even on newer versions. Sad to see Google didn't apply the same engineering principles and are trying to shift the blame. Maybe because most Pixel phones are outside of their two years of updates...
> But Microsoft is certainly not going to try and argue that Teams doesn't have to be able to make emergency calls, at least not when it's used as a VOIP solution - they have plenty of documentation to help ensure emergency calls are routed properly
Teams can also run on devices where it's maximized and the only app available from the UI (think conference rooms). In this case it makes sense for it to handle emergency calls. But on Android where the user can be signed-in to N different phone apps at the same time? Not so much.
