A consultant enables Conversation Intelligence for a sales team that places calls through a third-party VoIP dialer running as a browser extension rather than through Microsoft Teams calling. Conversation Intelligence is turned on, the correct call language is set, and reps are making calls daily, but no transcripts or call insights are being generated. What is the most likely explanation?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Conversation Intelligence is like a recording booth wired into specific phone lines. If a call comes in over one of those wired lines, it gets picked up and analyzed automatically. But if reps are dialing out through some outside gadget that was never wired into that booth, the audio simply never reaches the microphone, no matter how well everything else is configured. That is exactly what is happening here, the calling tool being used is not one of the connected channels, so there is nothing for the service to listen to. The distractors point at licensing, retention policies, and notification settings, and all three are real settings that exist somewhere in the product, but none of them explain a total absence of insights when the actual audio never entered the pipeline in the first place. Fix the plumbing, the calling channel, and the rest of the configuration already in place will start working.
Full Explanation
The correct answer is D. Conversation Intelligence works by capturing call audio through calling channels it is integrated with, such as Microsoft Teams calling or the native Dynamics 365 Sales dialer; it has no mechanism to pull audio from an unrelated third-party VoIP extension running outside that integration. Because the calls in this scenario never pass through a supported channel, there is no audio for the service to transcribe, regardless of how correctly the language and enablement settings are configured. Option A is incorrect because Conversation Intelligence licensing in this scenario is organization-level and does not require a separate per-rep add-on beyond the appropriate Sales plan; the missing piece here is the calling channel, not licensing. Option B is incorrect because retention policies govern how long existing transcripts and recordings are kept after processing, not whether a call gets picked up in the first place; a retention issue would produce transcripts that later disappear, not a total absence of transcripts. Option C is incorrect because notification settings only control whether a rep sees an alert about generated insights; muting notifications has no effect on whether the underlying transcription pipeline runs.
