Teams Voice Mail Email Notifications Feature Request
When calling a user in Teams and leaving a voice mail, an email notification is sent to the user called. Have a few features to add to the notification email.
Currently the email has no company branding on it other than information about the user. I would be nice to add ability to insert company logo to provide some legitimacy to the email. The use of terms like "voicemail" and "VM" is commonly used in phishing emails. Employees are more likely to adopt something if it's branded properly.
There is no indication anywhere in the existing Voice Mail emails that this is coming from a Microsoft product. When you look at email notifications for missed Teams IM's, you know clearly that this email is associated with Teams because the colors and text clearly shows this.
The email notification contains a link that says "Set Up Voice Mail" When you click the link, it takes you to the legacy Skype for Business / Lync voice messaging settings. It's a little odd that there is still any association with older services if a company is solely on Teams. I realize there are probably still organizations that use Skype for Business... but the branding and feel of the apps needs to be consistent and this is one glaring area that needs to be updated to use Teams branding.
Thanks

The email doesn't have a From address and picks up the phone number as sender. If this can be set in teams admin portal to use a Noreply or do not reply@domainname , we can get this identified as coming from teams and is legitimate.

How about using mail transport rules until MS gives us the ability to modify the email templates?
A rule that prepends a disclaimer to a message of type "voice mail" for example? Can the message type be spoofed in the header? -

Phishing scams frequently scrape a Microsoft email and change all of the links to point to their credential harvesting site. It would be great it we could insert our company logo into all email notifications (OneDrive and other products already do this i believe).

Additionally, the Voicemail email includes an attachment, and 'best guess' at translation, both look suspicious, which, then goes against our company policy to not open or click on anything within something they think has a level of suspicion. Yes, the attachment & translation can be turned off, but what then, an empty message?
Better would be the ability to allow branding or the modification of content so we can add our own message, like, 'You have been left a voicemail, please go to your Teams client to open/listen to it.'At least with the addition of our own text, we can, hopefully, legitimise it in the eyes of our users.
