    It sounds like there might be a few potential reasons why your calls are going straight to voicemail in Microsoft Teams. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check Call Forwarding Settings:
      • In Teams, click on your profile picture at the top right.
      • Go to Settings > Calls.
      • Ensure that call forwarding and call group settings are not directing calls to voicemail.
    2. Do Not Disturb Status:
      • Make sure your status in Teams is not set to Do Not Disturb. This status can send calls directly to voicemail.
      • You can change your status by clicking on your profile picture and selecting the appropriate status (e.g., Available).
    3. Teams Application Update:
      • Ensure that your Teams application is up to date. Sometimes, outdated versions can cause unexpected behavior.
      • You can check for updates by clicking your profile picture, selecting Check for updates.
    4. Check Voicemail Settings:
      • Go to Settings > Calls.
      • Check your voicemail settings to ensure that they are set up correctly and are not too restrictive.
    5. Check Network and Permissions:
      • Ensure you have a stable network connection.
      • Verify that Teams has the necessary permissions on your device, especially for accessing the microphone and making calls.
