Once your department or unit has transitioned to Teams Phone, you’ll want to make sure your Teams Phone is set up correctly.
First, restart your computer and sign into Teams with your MyID@uga.edu and your password.
Configure your Voicemail
You can configure your voicemail in Settings. Click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the Teams window, then click Settings.
In the left sidebar menu, Click Calls. Scroll down to Manage Voicemail.
There you can Record a Custom Greeting or use the Set up a text-to-speech customized greeting option to type a greeting.
You can also create a specialized voicemail greeting for when you are out of the office under Manage Out-of-Office Voicemail.
