Laurie Pottmeyer Unfortunately not, as it seems Teams cannot differentiate between busy in a call and busy in a meeting. So when I want Agents to receive calls while being in a meeting, there is no setting for that.

But thank you so much for your feedback.

MatthiasP I agree that this needs to have a solution. It is frustrating to be in a meeting or on a call and have my Teams phone ringing (disturbing) on top of that meeting or call. Also, why doesn't "quiet time" correlate with the desktop app, only on the mobile app? If our status is "in a call", "in a meeting", etc. can incoming calls be muted rather than ring?
