Calls getting placed on hold after answering
So we just recently switched our phone system to Teams. We've noticed on a few occasions that we try to pick up a call from a call queue, and it puts the call back on hold. The user has to resume the...
I have just encountered the issue with Call Queue calls going on hold when being answered for the first time today. Finding this thread pointed me to Conference mode - however we have disabled conference mode on our call queue for this very reason - if it was enabled, the Teams Desktop app would no longer give us call transfer options. We did find that using a Polycom CCX500 phone DID allow the call to be transferred, but the options were missing entirely from the Teams desktop app. This is frustrating because Polycom CCX500's in a GCC High tenant are a DUMPSTER FIRE and we can't get good firmware to get them to work right. We ultimately disabled conference mode on our call queues, which now leads me to this issue - calls going on hold when they are answered. I'm opening a Microsoft ticket, but don't have high expectations.
Update for my issue: We put the user who was experiencing this issue onto a headset and had them answer calls from the teams desktop app instead of using the Polycom CCX500. So far, no further issues with Call Queue calls going into hold, they all come in just fine. Will continue testing but after being able to reproduce it very regularly prior to removing the Polycom and having zero calls go into hold after seems to heavily suggest it was the Polycom in this case.
