You can also change some specific voicemail settings as noted below:

Adjust your voicemail settings

To change your voicemail settings, click your profile picture, then Settings > Calls. 
In the Voicemail section, click Configure voicemail. That's where you'll find all your voicemail settings. 

Voicemail greeting

To record a new voicemail greeting, select Record a greeting and follow the instructions to record your message. 

Call answer rules

To change how calls are handled once they reach your voicemail, go to Call answer rules. By default, Teams will play your voicemail greeting and allow the caller to record a message. You have some other options, though:

  • Let the caller record a message.
  • Let the caller record a message or be transferred to someone else.
  • End the call without playing your greeting.
  • Play your greeting and end the call.
  • Transfer the call to someone else.
If you choose an option that includes transferring the call, set the name or number where you want your calls to go under Where should they be transferred?

Default greeting language

Change your default greeting language by selecting the language you want under Greeting language. 

To use a text-to-speech voicemail greeting, type your greeting in Your custom greeting under Text-to-speech customized greeting. 

Note: If you've recorded a greeting, it'll override the text-to-speech option
