Can you have skype for business voice mail pc to pc
Skype for Business (formerly Lync) does offer voicemail capabilities, but it's not a traditional voicemail system where you can leave a message for someone and they can retrieve it from their phone or PC. Instead, Skype for Business voicemail is more like a digital message center where you can leave a message for someone, and they can retrieve it from their Skype for Business client or Outlook.
Here's how it works:
- When you call someone's Skype for Business number and they don't answer, you can leave a voicemail message.
- The voicemail message is stored in the Skype for Business server and is associated with the recipient's account.
- The recipient can retrieve their voicemail messages from their Skype for Business client (e.g., Skype for Business desktop app, mobile app, or web app) or from Outlook.
To retrieve voicemail messages in Skype for Business, the recipient can:
- Open their Skype for Business client and click on the "Voicemail" tab.
- Go to the "Voicemail" section in their Outlook inbox.
- Use the Skype for Business web app to access their voicemail messages.
It's worth noting that Skype for Business voicemail is not a PC-to-PC voice mail system in the classical sense, where you can leave a message for someone and they can retrieve it from their PC. Instead, it's more like a digital message center where you can leave a message for someone, and they can retrieve it from their Skype for Business client or Outlook.
If you're looking for a PC-to-PC voice mail system, you may want to consider alternative solutions, such as:
- Microsoft Exchange Server's Unified Messaging (UM) feature, which allows you to leave voice messages for others and retrieve them from your PC.
- Third-party voicemail solutions that integrate with Skype for Business, such as Voicemail-to-Email or Voicemail-to-Text services.
I hope this helps clarify things!
