Call answer rules

To change how calls are handled once they reach your voicemail, go to Choose what happens when the call is redirected to voicemail. By default, Teams will play your voicemail greeting and allow the caller to record a message. You have some other options, though:

  • Let the caller record a message
  • Let the caller record a message or be transferred to someone else
  • Play your greeting and end the call
  • Transfer the call to someone else

If you choose an option that includes transferring the call, set the name or number where you want your calls to go should they be transferred?
