How do I transfer a call on Microsoft Teams?


To transfer a call:

  1. Choose More actions  Select to see more options > Transfer in your call controls.

  2. Start typing the name of the person you want to transfer the call to and select them when they appear.

  3. If they're in your org and using Teams or Skype for Business, you can turn on Ring back if there's no answer. This will send the call back to you if the recipient doesn't answer.

  4. To finish, hit Transfer again.




For more transfer options, click the drop-down arrow in the Transfer button. Choose Work to transfer the call to their Teams number, or Work voicemail to send it straight to their voicemail. If they've added any other phone numbers to their account, like their mobile number, you'll see those options in the list, too. 

Just keep in mind you can only transfer calls when you're talking one-on-one.
