Skype for Business User Tip #44: Which of Multiple Incoming RGS/Call Queue Calls Will Be Answered First?

Interestingly not all Skype for Business endpoints handle answering Response Group Service / Call Queue calls with the same logic. When multiple calls are coming from a RGS /Call Queue, which will be answered?

For example: Let’s say you have 3 incoming calls from your “FrontDesk” Response Group (or Cloud PBX Call Queue). On your Skype for Business client you will see 3 incoming call toasts. If you press the button on your USB headset, which call will be answered? (LIFO = Last Incoming Call/Oldest Incoming/Longest Ringing will be answered first. FIFO = First Incoming Call/Newest Incoming/Shortest Ringing will be answered first.)

 

Skype for Business endpoint	Answer Method	Behavior
Skype for Business PC client	[Window + Shift + O]	LIFO
USB headset	Headset button	LIFO
Polycom CX300 USB	Pickup handset	LIFO
Yealink IP phone	Pickup handset	LIFO
Lync Phone Edition IP Phone (Polycom CX600/HP 4120/etc)	Pickup handset	FIFO

Of course, if you click on a specific incoming call toast, that call will be answered.
