This documentation corresponds to the legacy version of Unaric Voice for Teams. The documentation for the current version is located at [Unaric Voice for Teams](https://docs.unaric.com/unaric-voice-for-ms-teams).
:::

**Outbound calls** are calls initiated by a Microsoft Teams user through the Unaric Voice integration.

## How it works

### Presence state

::::VerticalSplit{layout="right"}
:::VerticalSplitItem
When searching for someone to call, their presence state is shown next to the username. Outbound calls made from the Microsoft Teams app are not signalled in Salesforce.

Outbound calls are not possible if the Microsoft Teams presence state is set as **Do Not Disturb** or **Presenting**, shown by the ⛔️ icon.

### Call history list

::::VerticalSplit{layout="right"}
:::VerticalSplitItem
In Microsoft Teams's call history list, the caller ID will appear in the call history list as an** inbound call**. If the call was answered, the caller ID is displayed; if not, only *Incoming* is displayed.

### Internal calls

::::VerticalSplit{layout="right"}
:::VerticalSplitItem
Unaric Voice uses the **Salesforce user list** or the** Office 365 Tenant user list** as phone book for internal calls. To make an internal call, the **e-mail address** is used. If queues are enabled, you can select to search for users or queues.

Internal calls are not logged in Salesforce.

### Failed outbound call

::::VerticalSplit{layout="right"}
:::VerticalSplitItem
If an outbound call goes unanswered, the pop-up window will close automatically and the record will have *No Answer *as subject. You can add additional information to this record to specify further actions to the new created task. 

If you have dialled an invalid number, Unaric Voice will immediately drop the call. However, it will not notify that the number is invalid, and will log the call as unanswered.
