Streaming music on hold

Question

Hi there,

I was trying to configure Teams music on hold to be Streaming Music on Hold.

Does the server have to authenticate with Azure? -StreamingSourceAuthType AzureAd

I added the streaming URL but get errors in Powershell - does the tenant have to be identified with the service/ server - trying to use Icecast for example.

Cheers,

When you configure streaming music on hold for Teams (rather than using a file-based music on hold), Microsoft requires that your streaming endpoint be secured using Azure AD authentication. In other words, if you specify –StreamingSourceAuthType AzureAd in your PowerShell command, the streaming service (the “server”) must be registered and authenticate using your Azure AD tenant credentials.

That requirement means that if you try to point Teams to a streaming endpoint such as an Icecast server that isn’t set up to do Azure AD authentication, you’ll likely run into errors. The Teams service checks that the stream comes from a trusted, authenticated source in your tenant before using it for music on hold.
