Yealink MP56 E2 with Sidecar

Please see previous section to learn how to use the phone. This section will focus on the sidecar functionality.

Configuring the Contacts

By default, the EXP50 Sidecar will pull contacts that are added to your Teams “Speed Dials” contact group. Any additional contacts you add to Speed Dials will also push to the EXP50 Sidecar.

Adding to Speed Dials on Teams desktop Client:

Open the Teams desktop application

Under Calls > Contacts/History, click the 3 dots on the desired contact.

Select “Add to Speed Dial”

You can also add contacts from your O365 tenant’s directory by going to the Teams Desktop Client > Calls > Click the “Add Contact” symbol next to “Speed Dials”

If you wish to add other Contact Groups from your Teams Contacts to the sidecar, on the Teams deskphone / host phone you will need to navigate to People > Select the contact group dropdown > Select the group you wish to add to the sidecar > Select the vertical ellipsis (⋮) to the right of the Contact Group name, then choose “Pin to Sidecar”.

This will push the contacts in that group to the attached EXP50 sidecar.

To remove a group of contacts from the sidecar, follow the same steps but then select “Unpin Group from Sidecar”.

NOTE: any contacts added to the EXP50 sidecar, whether by Speed Dials group or pinned Contact Groups, will appear on the Sidecar in the order you assigned them, not in alphabetical order or by group. Some changes to the sidecars may not appear until you have rebooted the host phone.
