If your employees work in a call center, support, or other areas with call queues, you know how much effort is involved: Every change to the work schedule\u2014whether it&#8217;s a day off, a postponement, or a shift change &#8211; had to be manually entered in the Admin Center. This was not only tedious, but also prone to errors, especially for part-time employees with changing working hours. The integration of the Microsoft Shifts app into <a href=\"https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/en\/service\/microsoft-teams-telephony\/\">Microsoft Teams telephony<\/a> changes this fundamentally: Working hours are managed directly in the app \u2013 and the call queues respond automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/j%C3%BCrg-hirschi-822b21196\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">J\u00fcrg Hirschi<\/a>, Consultant at TwinCap First explains the advantages of this innovation and provides valuable practical tips on the topic of the Microsoft Shift app for Microsoft Teams telephony.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-special-about-this-integration\">What is special about this integration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The real innovation lies not in the Shifts app itself, but in its connection to Microsoft Teams telephony. Previously, adjustments to working hours or availability had to be made directly in the Admin Center. Today, this is done automatically via the shifts app \u2013 flexibly, efficiently, and securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advantages at a glance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Simplicity and flexibility: <\/strong>Work schedules are created and managed directly in the intuitive Shift app. Team leaders can change shifts themselves\u2014without admin rights and without access to the Teams Admin Center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified configuration:<\/strong> The shift only needs to be entered once as an agent group in the Admin Center. After that, all changes are made automatically via the Shift app. Your call queues remain lean, clear, and up to date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dynamic adjustment: <\/strong>The call queue adapts to the shift schedules. Anyone who is not entered in the schedule is automatically excluded from call distribution. This ensures that calls are only forwarded to employees who are actually available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-three-scenarios-that-demonstrate-the-added-value-of-the-innovation\">Three scenarios that demonstrate the added value of the innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Work planning directly in the Shift app: <\/strong>You create your weekly schedule and immediately see who is available when and who is available for call distribution. You can flexibly take into account part-time employees with different working hours\u2014and adjustments can be made quickly at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-1024x437.jpg\" alt=\"The work schedule in the Microsoft Teams shift app\" class=\"wp-image-50093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-1024x437.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-768x328.jpg 768w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-1400x597.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-1000x426.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-860x367.jpg 860w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-540x230.jpg 540w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-320x136.jpg 320w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-640x273.jpg 640w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1-1320x563.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/twincapfirst.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Der-Arbeitsplan-in-der-Schichten-App-von-Microsoft-Teams-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The work schedule in the Microsoft Teams Shift app<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easy configuration in the Admin Center for adding shifts:<\/strong> When setting up the call queue, you no longer have to add each individual user.
