Introduction
With Microsoft Cloud Voicemail you have access to voicemail on your Teams desktop or soft phone. You also have access to your voicemails in Microsoft Outlook.
As part of this system, you have the ability to have a standard greeting that plays when a caller gets sent to your voice mail, as well as an "Away" greeting that you can activate when you will be away for an extended period of time. This guide will walk you through recording and activating the "Away" greeting.
Note: This procedure only applies to person voice mailboxes. If you have a Common Area Phone with a voice mailbox you will not be able to record and active an away greeting.
