Skype for Business Online Call Queues: Agent Opt In/Out

2018-01-16 2 min read Skype for Business Erwin Bierens

Last night Microsoft announced and published the Agent Opt In/Out feature to Skype for Business Online.

This update allows Admins to grant Call Queue Agents an ability to Opt In and Out from taking calls from a particular Queue at will.

For all newly created Call Queues, Agent Opt In/Out option will be enabled by default. For pre-existing Call Queues, Admins will need to enable this feature manually.
