Session Abstract

We can now use Microsoft Teams Mobile since the beginning of 2023. But what is it and why is it a game changer? In this session, I'll show you the basic features of Teams Phone Mobile and what to look for. What do you need to look out for during planning and later rollout. And finally: how does it feel? We are already using Teams Phone Mobile at my employer and I would like to share my practical experience with you. What changes for the user and where is there still room for improvement.

Thorsten Pickhan

I am a Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, where I help enterprise customers design, deploy, and adopt modern workplace solutions with a focus on Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and AI-powered collaboration. For more than 15 years, I have been working as a consultant and technical specialist for Microsoft communication and collaboration technologies. My journey started with Enterprise Voice deployments and later evolved through Microsoft Lync, Skype for Business, and Microsoft Teams, where I have been focusing for over a decade. Beyond my daily work, I am deeply engaged in the Microsoft community. I am a co-organizer of the Microsoft Teams User Group Germany, a frequent speaker at community conferences, and a content creator sharing practical insights with IT professionals and decision-makers. In March 2020, I launched my German YouTube channel "Office 365 QuickTipps", where I regularly publish videos covering Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot. In addition, I co-host a German Microsoft 365 talk format together with my friend Michael Plettner. From July 2021 until June 2026, I was recognized as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for my contributions to the Microsoft community. Today, I continue to support the community through speaking engagements, content creation, and knowledge sharing alongside my role at Microsoft.
