How to Block a Number or Contact in Microsoft Teams

Instructions

Microsoft only allows you to block communications from individual phone numbers if they’re in your contacts, so we’ll need to create a new contact in Outlook in order to block the number in Teams.

  1. In Outlook, click New Items at the top left of the ribbon and choose Contact from the drop-down.
  2. Enter the number you’d like to block.
  3. Give your contact a name and email address. You can make up anything you want for these, but make sure your made-up email address is in the typical email address format.
  4. Hit Save and Close in the top left corner and navigate back to Teams.
  5. Find your new contact in Teams by going to Calls > Contacts and searching the name of the contact.
