Introduction:
Call park and retrieve is a feature that lets a user place a call on hold. When a call is parked, the service generates a unique code for call retrieval. The user who parked the call or someone else can then use that code with a supported app or device to retrieve the call.
Common Scenarios:
- A receptionist parks a call for someone working in a factory. The receptionist then announces the call and the code number over the public address system. The user who the call is for can then pick up a Teams phone on the factory floor and enter the code to retrieve the call.
- A user parks a call on a mobile device because the device battery is running out of power. The user can then enter the code to retrieve the call from a Teams desk phone.
- A support representative parks a customer call and sends an announcement on a Teams channel for an expert to retrieve the call and help the customer. An expert enters the code in Teams clients to retrieve the call
Configuration:
Step 1: Create a new call park policy
- In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Voice > Call park policies
- On the Manage Policies tab, click Add:
- Give the policy a name, and then switch Allow call park to On
- Change the range and park timeout as required:
- Save
Step 2: Assign the new call park policy which was created to the users
- In the left navigation of the Microsoft Teams admin center, go to Users > Manage user:
- On the Manage User tab, search for the user name
- Assign users a new Call Park policy:
- Save
