Call Analytics

One user, one call. That is the scope of this tool.

Learn it in 5 minutes

Call Analytics shows the streams of a user’s call: jitter, loss, round-trip, and the client. Use it when one person suffered and the building did not. The Teams Communications Support Engineer role is the troubleshooting role people usually mean here. Check the current role article.

A building-wide problem hunted one user at a time will take a week. Switch tools when the scope changes.

Use Call Analytics for one user’s call. Use CQD when the building is the question.

Worked example

Call Analytics is one call. I will not use it to explain a subnet.

  1. Scope One user
  2. Open That call
  3. Read Loss, jitter, RTT
  4. Stop If the building is the story

If it fails: A site problem is debugged as twenty separate user tickets.

Glossary

  • Call Analytics The per-user, per-call quality view in the Teams admin center. Use it when one person had one bad call. Config: Open the user’s call and read jitter, loss, and RTT on each stream. Fault: A site problem is hunted one user at a time.
  • Call Quality Dashboard The aggregate quality report. Use it for subnets, buildings, and trends. Config: Confirm the subnet-to-building map before you trust a building chart. Fault: HQ looks terrible because the VPN pool was labeled HQ.
  • Poor stream clues Teach yourself to look at jitter, packet loss, and round-trip time separately. A mark of DSCP 0 plus high jitter is a different fault from 12% loss with EF still set. Config: Capture at the egress and compare with CQD. Fault: The ticket says ‘Teams is down’ and loss is 0.2% with a 600 ms RTT.
  • SIP ladder A time-ordered picture of requests and responses between client, proxy, SBC, and carrier, joined by Call-ID. Config: Capture on the SBC, filter the Call-ID, and read the first non-success code. Fault: Two captures are compared and they are different calls.

Sister technologies

Around the call: compliance recording, workforce management, emergency location, analytics, CRM screen pop, and an agent with a human escape. Each one has its own failure.

Cross-platform bridges

CUCM

Cisco CUBE is one of the SBC families named in this lab’s certification lesson. A certified release can be the Direct Routing SBC between Unified CM and Teams.

The tenant still needs a verified domain on the SBC FQDN, and the user still needs Teams Phone. The studio translator does not open a live AXL session. Confirm the current certified release before you build.

Webex

Teams Phone and Webex Calling are separate clouds. This lab does not describe a feature that registers a Webex Calling user into a Teams tenant.

A number move is usually a carrier port, a certified SBC, or a meetings interop product. Confirm before relying.

UCCE

Unified CCE stays the ACD until you migrate it. Microsoft’s contact-center articles name Connect, Extend, and Unify. They do not name a UCCE connector in the notes this lab cites.

Voice into Teams is still Direct Routing or Operator Connect. The routing script stays on the contact-center product you bought. Confirm the vendor’s current model. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-contact-center.

Future hooks

Copilot Studio, Azure Communication Services, and Graph are later tracks in this lab. Treat any uncited limit as confirm before relying.
