Behavior / Functionality

? – Where do my incoming calls ring?

A – Incoming calls to your direct extension as well as calls from queues you are a member of will ring wherever you are logged into Teams. If you are logged in multiple places / on multiple devices it will ring all of them.

• Teams will ring the primary audio device that is set, likely your headset. To ensure that you do not miss calls, you can set a secondary ringer, such as your computer speakers, in the Devices area of your Teams settings.

• Delegates can be added and controlled through your settings in Teams.

• If your Teams status is set to Do Not Disturb, Teams will not show you incoming calls. Instead, these calls will show up in your history as a missed call.

• If your Teams status is set to Presenting, Teams will display a pop up, but there will be no audio notification.

? - Why don't I see anything if a call is coming in and my computer is locked?

A - If you receive a call while your computer is locked, there is no visual indicator or pop-up to notify you. (Mac & PC)

Problems / Performance

? - Why am I experiencing audio cutting out with my Bluetooth headset?

A- This could be from a variety of causes.

* Make sure your headset and dongle are both updated with the latest firmware through the Poly Lens App. Make sure Teams is set to use the dongle (BT600 or BT700) as the Audio Device.

- If the audio issue affects media outside teams, try plugging in the Bluetooth adapter (BT600 or BT700) to a different port or directly into your machine if it’s in a dock or hub.

- If call audio issues to persist, submit an Atlas Ticket for getting Help with Microsoft Teams Voice, including the date and time of the call you experienced the audio issue with. This will help us determine the source of the call quality issue.

? - When I get a call on Teams, why does only my desktop show the call even though I'm logged into Teams on my smartphone?

? - My call history isn't displaying correctly.

A - Log into Teams in a browser, if your call history is correct there, log out of the Teams application on your computer and log back in. This will force a sync and call history will be fully populated.
