[Freeswitch-users] Microsoft Teams integration

Wed Sep 23 17:24:38 UTC 2020

In my implementation I am using a drachtio server (https://drachtio <https://drachtio/>.org), more specifically configured as part of the jambonz CPaaS platform I build (https://docs.jambonz.org/teams/ <https://docs.jambonz.org/teams/>)

A Record-Route header only makes sense if you are creating a sip proxy, AFAIC.  In my implementation I built a B2BUA so on requests I send to Teams there is no RR.  Of course, on responses I preserve their RR headers.

For your scenario, I think I passed on the trace but just in case here is a link to it again: https://gist.github.com/davehorton/9ea3d79e8eeda3cbb5e2e87209dcfe63 <https://gist.github.com/davehorton/9ea3d79e8eeda3cbb5e2e87209dcfe63>

One question: for the domain you are putting in the Contact header of your 200 OK response, does that resolve to a single server or multiple?  I have found in the latter case Teams will gladly send a mid-call request to a different server that heretofore was not involved in the call at all.  On the server that initially handled the call, it will simply look like Teams is not being responsive..

Thank you for your Answer!

May I ask what kind of SBC you are using?
We also use Audiocodes SBC’s, which are working great, but even those send Record-Route Headers.

Maybe I need to explain the szenario a little better…
In the teams client I dial an external number ( my mobile phone for example )
I pick up, and then push hold in the teams client. ( So far so good )
When I try to unhold, of course also in teams, it becomes silent on both ends. ( even the moh stops )

And then as I said I see a few OK Messages being retransmitted to the Microsoft servers.

Its funny that you say you don’t need Record-Route Headers at all, because without setting those, I cant even make incoming calls work.
With those headers, everything works perfectly except for the thing explained above.
Even when trying to get incoming calls back from hold on teams. ( PSTN – freeswitch – teams, hold / unhold on teams )

I also found a tutorial from kamailio on how to connect it to teams.
There they also state that the record-route headers a needed.

Thank you again David!

It has not been my experience that Microsoft Teams direct routing requires a Record-Route header on requests / responses you send to it (though their requests will have an RR and you must Route accordingly)

Here is a sip trace showing a successful on-hold / off-hold scenario from one of my servers (not a freeswitch server).  This is an on-hold triggered from the MS teams client, not sure if you are trying to do the reverse.

One thing: make sure the Contact header in your INVITEs resolve to a single server, otherwise (if you have mutiple A records for the DNS name) you will find that MS Teams will gladly respond to a reINVITE to a completely different server than you sent from — this will manifest as not seeing the 200 OK to a re-INVITE you send, or not seeing the ACK when you respond 200 OK to a re-INVITE.

One thing to make sure of is that

Hello, 

we're trying to use Freeswitch as a Microsoft Teams direct routing SBC.

So far everything works perfectly, except getting the call back from hold on an outbound call. 
The Problem is that Microsoft expects a Record-Route Header in every Request and every Response.
I have been able to set/rewrite this Record-Route header with sip_h_ and sip_rh_ in most szenarios, but like i said - unhold on an outgoing call does not work.

The hold is initiated with a reinvite with a=inactive in sdp, which does work. 
However, the unhold - also a reinvite with a=sendrecv in sdp does not work correctly.
In the sip-trace i see that the OK ( in response to the INVITE for unhold ) gets retransmitted a couple of times, because the ACK from microsoft isn't received. 

This is due to the missing Record-Route Header in the OK Message.
I have seen this behavior on inbound calls too, when i didnt set the Record-Route Header.

Now my question:
Is there any way to add the Record-Route Header to every Message on a sip-profile or gateway? 
Or if not, is it possible to handle a reinvite in dialplan so i could set the header manually?
Maybe there is somebody who already has this working that could point me in the right direction.

I know freeswitch isn't a SBC, but it would be nice to be able to use freeswitch as a Teams-SBC without Kamailio or something similar.

Any help is very much appreciated 🙂

regards, 
Stefan
