Frequently Asked Questions
Does Microsoft Teams have a built-in fax feature?
No. Microsoft Teams does not include native fax functionality. To send faxes from Teams, you need a third-party fax service — either a Teams marketplace app or an external service like [mFax](https://mfax.to).
Can I receive faxes in Microsoft Teams?
Yes, with a third-party integration. Services like mFax deliver incoming faxes as PDF attachments to your email inbox, which you can then route to a Teams channel via connectors or Power Automate. Some Teams marketplace apps also deliver faxes directly into a Teams chat.
Is faxing from Teams HIPAA compliant?
It can be — if your fax provider encrypts transmissions and signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). [mFax Business](https://mfax.to/business/) supports HIPAA-compliant faxing with encryption and audit logging. See our [HIPAA fax guide](/blog/hipaa-compliant-fax/) for the full checklist.
What's the easiest way to fax from Teams?
The fastest method is email-to-fax. Compose a new email in Outlook (which syncs with Teams), address it to the fax number @send.mfax.to, attach your PDF, and send. No Teams app install required.
How much does it cost to fax from Microsoft Teams?
Costs depend on the service. Third-party Teams apps typically charge $10–$25/mo per user. mFax offers pay-per-fax for occasional use or business plans starting at $20.99/mo with a virtual fax number and HIPAA compliance.
