Handle calls from call queues
As a member of an 8x8 call queue, you can receive calls seamlessly directed to your queue inside Microsoft Teams, and can work with other members in the queue to deliver a more effective customer experience. If you are not assigned to any call queues by the administrator in the 8x8 Admin Console Call Queues settings, the Call Queues left menu option will not be visible.
To handle calls from call queues, you must first log in to a call queue that you are a member of.
To log in to or log out of call queues:
- Go to 8x8 Dashboard in the top navigation bar, select Call Queues from the side navigation menu. The Call Queues screen displays.
- Click Log in to log in to available queues. Click Log out to log out of logged in queues.
Depending on your call queue setup (Call Queues are configured by the administrator.), you may either log in to your call queue(s) manually, or be logged in automatically when you log in to 8x8 Voice for Microsoft Teams app.
