Microsoft Teams: Report a suspicious call

Microsoft Teams will introduce a “Report a Call” feature by mid-March 2026, allowing users to flag suspicious one-to-one calls. Reports share limited call metadata with organizations and Microsoft, viewable in Microsoft Defender portal or Teams Admin Center. The feature is enabled by default but can be disabled by admins. As Microsoft Teams calling adoption continues to grow across organizations, scam and phishing attempts targeting users through voice calls are increasing as well.
