Purpose
The article explains how to change a User's Active/ Inactive Status on Microsoft Teams Voice Call Queues.
Process
Microsoft Teams Voice Call Queues are virtual groups of users who act as agents to answer University and department main telephone lines. There are three main types used at UTD, Simultaneous, Serial, and Round Robin.
- Simultaneous queues ring a group of agents all at the same time.
- Serial queues ring a group of agents, one at a time, in the same order.
- Round Robin queues ring a group of agents, one at a time, but the order changes based on which agents took the last call.
Agents in call queues can toggle between active or inactive.
