New calls ring while on call
While in a call and another comes in on my DID number or to a call queue I belong to the call rings in my headset and the Teams popup shows the call. It should not ring in my ear - at the very least it should be a lessor intrusive tone. This is more like a call-waiting option that needs to be added. Call Waiting on/off (columns for DID and Queues). More than likely for a call queue you are not going to take another call while in a call. There is a slight possibility you would if it was s DID call.

Busy on Busy feature sends all calls to a Busy Signal, when it should send calls to VM.
Looking for a VM on Busy feature to be added!This is HUGE!

I had a 6 week old escalated ticket - was told this is working 'as designed'. I don't see how Microsoft doesn't see this as an issue.

We manage to fix this by using "busy on busy" setting in call policies

This is potentially a problem for our switchboard team who have always historically been using simultaneous ring with our old PBX and we had assumed that attendant routing would work on teams. I can't see how attendant routing (simultaneous) can possibly work for call groups of any sort of volume. You basically can't have more than 1 person in the queue without it becoming incredibly disruptive

No response from MS on this?
Anyone had any luck with workarounds? -

Calling group inbound call ringing should be muted - perhaps with an unobtrusive "Call Waiting" beep, when in an active call. The distraction affects customer service. Having the call appear on the screen is Ok, so I can see caller ID.

Disruption = poorer service to the client we're already on the phone with and more stress for the person on the phone who can't focus. This is a problem.

Yes, being in a call center with several call queues and having JUST cutover yesterday, we are finding this to be extremely frustrating.

It's a pretty basic requirement this, when on a call new calls interrupt the existing call with the ringing tone. I would expect to be automatically on DND when in a call, perhaps with a discreet call waiting notification as I receive other inbound calls.

Any update on this?? Our customers are looking for this feature as this is a fundamental aspect of any AA/Call-Routing phone application.

I would like incoming call while I am already on a call or in a meeting to automatically go to voicemail and not ring. There needs to be more settings regarding this in order to suit all the individual needs. Again, Skype was way better in regards to calls and call settings.

Call comes in and cuts off the current call with ringing tone.
Make it so when you are on a call you are in DND so you do not get the call overridden.
I am also unable to accept some calls when the call is put into a call queue.

Same, call comes in and I have to ask the person I'm speaking to hold on while I wait for the volumn in my active call to return to normal.

I have the same problem! New calls ring in my headset while I'm already in a call. It is loud and interferes with my ability to assist the person I am already speaking with. Even if the notification pops up it should be silent when already in a call.
