How to set up an out of office greeting for your voice mail
Your phone’s voicemail is configured from Teams. Choose the ellipses in the upper right corner of Teams and then choose settings.
Choose the Calls option in the left panel of the settings.
Two voicemail messages should be set.
Under Manage voicemail you set the message called a “Personal Greeting”. That message is heard when you are unable to pick up the phone, but otherwise “in-office”.
Under Manage out-of-office voicemail you set the message for when you are out-of-office.
By default only the out-of-office message will be heard. You need to uncheck the “All the time” checkbox for the personal greeting to also be available. See the below picture.
If you want the personal greeting to play when you are “in-office” and unable to answer, then uncheck the “All the time” checkbox, and then select “When Outlook automatic replies are on.”
With the above setting chosen, then your out-of-office voicemail message will play when the following Outlook settings are in use:
A text to speech option is available for your voicemail greetings. The text will be converted to reasonable sounding human voice. The human voice accent is affected by the choice you make for the default language of your greeting. If you desire a British, Australian, Indian accent choose that default language.
On the other hand, if you want to use your own voice then choose [Record a greeting]. If, after you record your own voice with [Record a greeting], you wish to return to using the text to speech method, you will have to delete the recorded message. To delete the message you must choose the [Record a greeting] button and follow the instruction to delete the message.
