This tutorial shows how to install DirectFax to a 1:1 instance.

Info, Notes and Warnings

Also known as a 1:1 instance, this takes place when DirectFax is installed directly to the user’s personal environment as opposed to being installed in a Teams Channel.

This is the only instance that is capable of both sending and receiving faxes, whereas a Teams Channel instance can only receive inbound faxes.

Due to permissions within organizations, unless authorized, you may need an IT Administrator’s help when attempting this tutorial.
