During Microsoft's Ignite conference, I learned of a new lineup of devices designed specifically for communicating via Microsoft Teams. They are all Teams Certified, and they will work seamlessly with the software. These devices will range anywhere from web-cams for video conferencing, to wireless earbuds for convenient voice calls.

Jabra 65T Wireless Earbuds (Coming Soon)
They also have more devices such as full conference room setups and speakers, but the one that has me really excited is one of their mobile docks.
The device pictured on the left in the image above would allow one to turn their mobile device into a teams-driven desk-phone simply by placing it on the dock. While docked, it would also be able to receive calls through the Jabber app, though it's not clear at this time if Jabber calls will work with the headset. It's also likely that the mobile device would need to be NFC capable, as it looks like the dock is powered by a wireless charging pad.
Overall, these devices are pretty exciting from the perspective of an institution that uses Teams heavily!
