Call Forwarding, call groups, and simultaneous ring using Teams

Bluetooth pairing is not officially supported or recommended between the Yealink phones and the Microsoft Teams client.

You can forward calls to another number or Teams member, or ring another number at the same time as your work number using Microsoft Teams. 


Set Up Call Forwarding

 - To start forwarding your calls, select the three dots next to your profile picture at the top of Teams. Then select Settings > Calls.

 - Under Call answering rules, choose Forward my calls, and then select where you want your forwarded calls to go: voicemail, another person, or a call group.

 - You can also find these settings (whenever you're in the Calls area) by selecting Don't forward (or Forward to voicemail, etc.) in the lower-left of Teams. 

Set up call forwarding to a call group

 -Follow the directions above to access the call forwarding menu

 - In the Forward to menu, select Call Group

 - Under Add people, add the people you want in your call group. You can add up to 25 people. Anyone you add will get a notification:

 - Go to the Ring order menu and select All at the same time to ring everyone simultaneously or In the order above to call people in order in 20-second intervals. If your call group has six or more people, incoming calls will ring all of them at the same time.

 - Group call pickup is less disruptive than other forms of call forwarding because recipients can choose how to be notified of an incoming call in their settings and decide whether to answer it.


Set up simultaneous ring

If you want your incoming calls to ring you and someone else (such as a delegate) at the same time, you can set that up in Teams.

 - Select the three dots for settings next to your profile picture at the top of Teams. Then choose Settings > Calls. Under Call answering rules, select Calls ring me. Then click Also ring and select where else you want your calls to ring: another person, no one, or a call group.

Set up simultaneous ring in a call group

 - Under Call answering rules, select Calls ring me.

 - In the Also Ring menu, select Call group

 - Under Add people, add the people you want in your call group. You can add up to 25 people. (You must add people from your organization. Phone numbers are not supported)

 - Go to the Ring order menu and select All at the same time to ring everyone simultaneously or In the order above to call people in order in 20-second intervals. If your call group has six or more people, incoming calls will ring all of them at the same time.
