Our roadmap communicates features currently in development (private preview) and on-going priorities for extending the scope of Azure Communication Services. It will continue to evolve based on market changes and customer feedback, so please note that the plans outlined here are not exhaustive or guaranteed. We welcome your feedback on the roadmap.
A project view of the roadmap is also available here. Major updates to Azure Communication Services and other Azure services are available at https://azure.microsoft.com/updates/.
Azure Communication Services capabilities are conceptually organized into six areas. Most areas have fully open-sourced client libraries programmed against published REST APIs that you can use directly over the Internet. The Calling client library uses proprietary network interfaces and is currently closed-source. More information on REST APIs and SDKs is in docs.microsoft.com.
