Incoming call puts current call on hold
Hi,
Will the meeting be placed on hold automatic when you get an incoming call or is it when you answer the incoming call during the meeting?
It should work like this: When you are in a meeting or busy in a call and you get a second call you can select if you want to answer the second call or not. If you answer it your first call (or meeting) will be put on hold. If you don't answer the second call it will go to voicemail, you can also click the red deny button and it will go directly to voicemail.
If you want to you can set yourself as "Do Not Disturb" and calls will go directly to voicemail.
It is also possible to use Busy-on-Busy, the second caller will then get a busy signal if you are busy in a call or meeting.

Do you have the same experience with the Resume-button on other computers or if you use the Teams Web application (https://teams.microsoft.com)?

LinusCansby: Thanks for the reply. I will pay more attention next time (it has happened twice in the past two days). I believe it happens when I decline the call (or maybe it happens automatically as I am attempting to decline the new call to turn off the ringer in my ear). In both cases, I did not take the incoming call; I had no intention of accepting the incoming call. The incoming call was successfully deferred to voicemail, but the active call was put on hold, with the non-responsive "Resume" button on the screen.
I am not using the web app; I'm just using the app installed on my PC.
