Voice enabled channel - outgoing calls
Hi,
Im trying to set up a simple call queue linked to a teams channel.
I have one service number (Microsoft), it is assigned to a resource account (it has the Teams Phone Resource Account license assigned). This resource account is added to a call queue, the call queue has calling ID assigned). The resource account doesnt have a calling plan license.
I have two accounts with which Im testing it:
- My account (E5 license, pay-as-you-go Calling plan)
- Test account (E5 license)
Both these account dont have a number assigned.
Incoming calls are working correctly and are distributed to the team members and can opt out of receiving calls.
But there is a couple of things that Im struggling to figure:
- Only my account sees the Calls tab in the Teams channel, the test account doesnt see it (but receives the calls)
- I cant make outbound calls to external numbers from the call queue (Error: You are not set up to use this calling feature).
Can anyone please point me into the right direction?
- Hi,
Firstly only the users who are enabled with Calling Plans will be able to see the option of Calls in the Channel.
Secondly to make the calls from the Call Queue you will need to have the Calling Plans assigned to the Call Queue Resource Account

Hi Satish,
thank you for the info.
I have assigned a calling plan license to the Resource account, but I still cannot make the call. If I try to call, the call gets forwarded to Announcement Playback, which says "You are not set up to use this calling feature". Any idea what could be the issue?Thank you, BR/Milan
- Hi,
Here is the set up that needs to be there.
1. The users who would be able the Calls should have the Microsoft Calling Plans.
2. Call Queue needs to have the Calling Plan associated with the same.
3. Call Queue needs to have its own DID without any problems.
Now in your case can you remove the user who is not enabled with Enterprise Voice and then add only your account and check the solution.
