So, I have been on Teams for about 2 1/2 years now, and I have recently been having intermittent issues with Teams not accepting the callers inputs. I have an AA setup with 4 menu (phone tree) options, 1, 2, 3, & 4. I have a greeting setup, and when the caller selects any option, we'll use 1 for example, it says "Sorry, I could not find this option" and then repeats the menu. The caller can not ever get in, and disconnects. I have tried to get this to duplicate, but I have not. All of our incoming calls are recorded, so I can see/listen to the recordings and can indeed hear the Teams call not being transferred, and the caller selecting option 1 (or whatver option they are selecting - my recorder captures the input from the caller), and the call not getting transfered. Sometimes this works flawlessly, and calls get routed properly, as does when I call, and others have tested, but sometimes it is back-to-back callers that finally get through or email and tell us they cannot get through the menu.
What can I check to get this corrected and does anyone else have this experience?
Thank you in advance!

We are having this issue with a Teams Voice client that we are currently in testing phase with.
The auto attendant is supposed to support pressing the "*" (asterisk or star key), but when it is pressed the response "Sorry I could not find this option" plays.

Replying to my own reply.
It appears that the "*" key is now programmable in the menu options of Auto Attendant.
But programming it is interesting; so to repeat the message, you have to have the * Dial key redirect back to the Auto Attendant. The interesting part is that we usually split the audio messages; an audio file for the greeting, and a seperate audio file for the menu options. So, everything gets repeated.
This is a bit kludgy. We'll have to go back and reprogram some of our older clients' Auto Attendants which have the "press the * key to repeat the menu options"
