Supported on Skype for Business, but no longer recommended:
- Yealink T48S, T46S, and T42S. These phones are supported and will work with the University's on-premise Skype for Business system but will not be able to be upgraded to Microsoft Teams firmware. They should be able to operate in a Teams environment but without the full functionality of a Teams-firmware phone.
- Lync Phone Edition devices
Units are strongly encouraged to replace these devices. Microsoft ended mainstream support for these on 4/10/2018. These devices will not be able to be used with Teams.
- Polycom CX500, CX600, CX3000
- HP 4110 and 4120
