Call forwarding after few rings possible in teams if so how?

Copper Contributor

Does Teams allow forward calls to an external number if there are few rings or after 10 seconds? if so, how do you set this up.

Hi @manjiwolf,

yes, you can forward a call to an external number after 10 seconds of ringing time.
You can activate this using these steps:

Settings in Microsoft Teams
Open the Settings in your Microsoft Teams client and click on the Calls

Configure Call Forwarding:

  • Under When you can't answer the call.
  • Choose where you want your forwarded calls to go:
    • Voicemail: If you want calls to be sent directly to voicemail.
    • Forward to a new number or to a new Contact:
      Specify the number to forward calls to.

@LeonPavesic  - thank you 🙂 Another follow up is can Microsoft Teams do conditional call forwarding? Ex: when any call is missed/busy/declined, it forwards to another external number. If so what are the steps to do so?

Hi @manjiwolf,

thanks for the follow up.

The call forwarding can be set up for all recieveing calls

Unfortunately, there is no option for conditional calls forwarding in the way you mentioned.
