Teams Call Queues

Call Queues allow you to route a PTSN call to multiple users or hold calls until a user can answer.

You will need to first create a Resource Account for the Call Queue. You must also have either Business Voice or Enterprise Voice services assigned before you can create a Call Queue.

Create a Call Queue

You can create Call Queues in the Teams Admin Center.
