automatically forward calls to another person when out of office entry in outlook calender

Is there a possibility to forward calls automatically to another person when the person which is beeing called has a calendar entry which states out of office?

I have a customer that wants all calls forwarded as soon they are out of office.

  • Hi DanyStoeckli ,

     

    This is not possible AFAIK. Currently there is only the option to play another greeting when the user is OOF. The following blog post from Linus Cansby outlines what seetings Teams offer with regards to voicemail:

      Thank you for your answer.

      Is it possible to set this rule over powershell as well or is it currently only working over the Teams Client itself? Maybe over a calling policy?

        Hi DanyStoeckli,

         

        setting call forwarding for user is currently not possible for an admin.

        This is highly requested but not available now.
