Firewall ports

For Verint Recorders and MS Teams to communicate, specific ports need to be open and reachable on the VM firewalls, Azure Network Security Groups, and network devices (routers, switches) in your network.

The firewall port requirements are only relevant to customers who have chosen to host their recorders in their own Azure environment, meaning that they are not solely relying on Verint's cloud services. For total Verint Cloud Teams recording, this information is for Verint's technical teams or internal staff.

Outbound port rules

By default, Windows Firewall and Azure Network Security Groups allow all outbound network traffic unless it matches a rule that prohibits the traffic. If your organization's security policies require you to block ports, make sure that the following ports are open to allow Verint and MS Teams to communicate.

The Verint MS Teams Bot adapter is considered a standard Microsoft Teams endpoint. Refer to the following Microsoft documentation for a list of the required endpoints and ports which must be accessible to a Microsoft Teams endpoint: Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges (section Skype for Business Online and Microsoft Teams)

The Verint MS Teams Bot Adapter uses Microsoft Graph API over https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 to send requests to Azure AD for user information and to Microsoft Teams for the media stream of an interaction.
