The certification page, checked for this campus on 14 October 2026, does not name a successor. Third-party claims that an MS-220 collaboration exam replaced it are not what Learn showed on that date.
The exam includes network planning and call-quality troubleshooting, not only meetings. Passing score is 700. Role certifications also expire unless you pass the free renewal. Expiry is not the same event as Microsoft retiring the exam.

Which description of MB-280 retired is accurate?
MB-280 retired Jul 31 2026, with AB-210 as its successor; AB-210 is in beta. It covered Sales and Customer Insights, not the contact-center product. People still put it on a contact-center study plan. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/support/retired-certification-exams accessed 2026-10-14.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Copilot Studio, Azure Communication Services, and Graph are later tracks in this lab. Treat any uncited limit as confirm before relying.
Opened 2026-10. A row marked confirm did not open. Wikipedia is background. The Teams blog row is the community index.
