How to disable voicemail in Teams?
Hi, I'm trying to disable the voicemail function in our Teams, but after several changes is still active. My first attempt was using the admin: The second try was with PowerShell...
I have used this information today. To clarify, my findings are that the solutions provided work but the options are not disabled on the end-user devices. I have tested disabling forwarding and voicemail and regardless of the options the end-user specifies they are ignored when the "disable policy" is applied.
I'm guessing that Microsoft didn't write the software in a way that the settings could be hidden when disabled but at least the functionality works.
Connect to teams powershell and run the following
Get-CsOnlineVoicemailUserSettings -Identity email@domain.name.com
to check whats set then to disable run the following
Set-CsOnlineVoicemailUserSettings -Identity email@domain.name.com -VoicemailEnabled $false
if you have issues connecting to teams powershell try the below
install-module AzureADPreview
$credential = Get-Credential
Connect-MsolService -Credential $credential
Import-Module MicrosoftTeams
(if the above fails)
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
ensure version is 5
Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force -AllowClobber
Install-Module -Name MicrosoftTeams -Force -AllowClobber
