MS Teams - Logging In And Out Of Call Queues

About Teams Call Queues:

Call Queues can be configured with different routing methods by your Office 365 admin.

Attendant Routing: When attendant routing is used, the first call in the queue will ring all of the call agents at the same time. The first call agent to pick up the call gets the call.

Serial Routing: When serial routing is used, incoming calls will ring call agents one by one, starting from the beginning of the call agent list.

Round Robin Routing: When round-robin routing is used, each call agent will get the same number of calls from the queue.

Longest Idle Routing: When the longest idle routing is used, the next call in the queue will ring the opted-in call agent that has been in the presence state Available the longest.

Click on "Calls" and scroll down to the very bottom and choose whether or not to receive calls for the queues you belong to:

If it is a solid color, that means you are now active with that queue, if it is clear that means you will not receive calls from that queue.
