You use Teams Direct Routing? You've probably heard of the Local Media Optimazition feature. Haven't you? No problem, in my session I will give you an overview of what is behind this function, what advantages it has for your network and your users and how you can use it for your own purposes.

Senior Microsoft UC Consultant, Speaker and Community Worker
I'm working as Senior UC Consultant at glueckkanja-gab AG where I am responsible to plan and deploy UC infrastructures based on Microsoft technologies. I'm working as technician and consultant for more than 15 years and been specialized in Microsoft Lync/Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams for 8 years. From beginning of my UC consultant career, I was focused on Enterprise Voice implementations.
Since a few years I am co-organizer of the Microsoft Teams User Group Germany and involved in the community as speaker and blog post author. In March 2020, I started my own Office 365 YouTube channel where I publish on a regular basis new video content for my weekly “Office 365 QuickTipps” channel. In a further YouTube project, together with my friend Michael Plettner, we release a German Microsoft 365 Talk.
In July 2021, I was awarded as Microsoft MVP for Office Apps & Services for my engangement in the Microsoft Tech Community.
