Microsoft Teams: Change Call Queue and Auto Attendant Greetings and Announcements by Authorized Users

Changing business conditions often require adjustments to call queue/auto attendant greetings and announcements. However, it can be difficult to identify the right Teams admin to make these changes, and addressing high request volumes can be time-consuming for the responsible admins. With the introduction of user managed CQ/AA greetings for Teams Phone, authorized users (as identified by Teams tenant admins) can change greetings and announcements for their respective call queues and auto attendant directly from the user’s Teams settings, in the “Calls” settings.
