How to access voicemail in Microsoft Teams Voice.

Written by Eren Ercan | October 15, 2020

Voicemails are an important tool in any cloud telephony solution. If you're not using them, you're not getting the most out of your platform. In this post, we'll show you how to navigate and operate the basic voicemail features in Microsoft Teams Voice.

Accessing voicemail in Microsoft Teams Voice

The first thing you need to know about Microsoft Teams Voice is that voicemails are automatically set up for each user. When a call is missed, a built-in narrator reads the user's name and prompts the caller to leave a message - so there's no need to record separate messages for when users are busy or away.

Secondly, all your voice messages are stored in one place, regardless of whether they are from a colleague or someone outside your organisation.

Finally, when you receive a voicemail, the recording and a transcription (which is surprisingly accurate!) will appear under the voicemail tab. The audio recording and transcription are also sent to your inbox as an email message. Check out the full tutorial and steps below:
