Overview
Learn how to forward calls to another extension, an outside phone line (like a personal phone), or to voicemail.
This process describes forwarding for phone numbers assigned to individuals. In order to forward calls to a call queue, the call queue phone number will need to be configured by Network and Telecom Services first. To request a group phone number, please submit a ticket on the Microsoft Teams Support service page.
Delegates can see when you’re on a call and who it’s with. Any calls made or received by you or on your behalf can be put on hold or resumed by you or your delegates.
