I've heard paxs make FT calls so I assume the fire wall doesn't block voice over data. Personally if someone next to me joins a call but doesn't speak I could care less. I also agree MS Teams is awful.

Two-way voice conversations from the air to the ground are not permissible.

I have a colleague who scheduled a TEAMS call with a mutual customer when I will be flying (in domestic F to St Thomas with my wife as seatmate in row 4 on a 319) and was not planning on talking all the way through unless asked a specific question. Would be laptop based with headphones, not phone
I am actually trying to get the meeting rescheduled but just thinking ahead in case it doesn't
Thanks all for the input

And you know murphy's law.
If it is really important, not rescheduling would not be an option for me.

A thousand times NO to two-way voice communication on VoIP, Zoom, FT, Teams, and any other apps!!! Don't go there!
If the connection/bandwidth allows, it's okay to join a webinar in listen-only mode. Or join a meeting and do not speak. Type your questions/feedback in the chat box.
But NO unmuting/speaking. It's not just common courtesy; it's airline policy.
(FAA regulations about phone calls in flight date back to before VoIP and high-speed WiFi connections were available on board. But the "spirit" of the regulation is that nobody should be on a two-way voice call in flight, and airlines have developed policies to prohibit those calls from the moment the aircraft door closes until after landing and off the active runway, when the crew advises that voice calls are allowed.)

The rules are clear. It is the 2-way voice capacity and the technology is irrelevant. Has nothing to do with whether one mutes.

Since when did two-way calling get banned (just curious)?
I remember using one of these, and getting a bill for $100 for a short call
