Multiple Voicemail Greetings

Please provide the ability to record more than one VM greeting, ex. Standard, Out-of-Office, and Extended Absence Greetings and then the option to select each as needed. Currently, I set a Standard VM greeting but when I am out-of-the-office, I have to record a different greeting which overwrites my Standard, and then I have to re-record that when I'm back in the office, and the cycle continues. This request benefits anyone who uses Voicemail.

    Surprised this system doesn't support this. When I was testing the Teams PBX system and considering it with RingCentral as our voice provider, I was able to do this. It would be a very useful feature to have, especially with all the call control rules we have. Setting a specific greeting to call control rules could be useful when out of the office, or even to ensure internal calls get one VM greeting, and external calls get another.

    The ability to set an Out Of Office voicemail greeting that automatically switches back to the Standard greeting at a selectable date and time would be ideal.

    This feature is a must have and is seriously adversely affecting our user community. Considering other options as well since this is not progressed since Oct 2020.

    After more than 5 years as a customer I'm seriously considering moving away from Ring Central because they don't offer this simple but essential feature.

    I would agree. This is a very needed addition and doesn't seem like it should be that difficult.

    Its really a deal breaker if this doesn't get added. I have lots of remote salespeople who hate that we lost this with the Mitel swap over. I hear about it so much i cant wait for my three years are up so i can find a UCaaS vendor that has it!

    Please add this feature ASAP and not just parked under "future consideration". It should have been a feature from day one.

    I am surprised this is not an option. This should be standard for every license. The need to re-record the Voicemail greeting every time you want to change it is a HUGE waste of time. PLEASE add this feature ASAP!!!

    +1000. This is an absolutely basic feature. Having one standard greeting as the default, with the option to switch in a different greeting (whether away for a month, a day, or an hour) is so standard I couldn't believe it when I learned RingCentral doesn't offer it.

    Please add this feature. It would save us so much time wasted on recording another voicemail every time we are in or out of touch.

    This is such an important feature that we took for granted, given that 99% of phone companies offer it. Ring Central, PLEASE add this feature to your roadmap for this year.

    We had this feature in our previous Avaya app - and it is much preferable way to handle things. We also could set the temporary voicemail to expire without having to remember to change it back after returning from vacation or other out of office activity.

    We changed to ring central and I hate not having this feature as our old system did. I had no say in the system change and feel this is a big loss.

    Yes please, we had this and many other features in our Cisco system. This is one of the more frequent requests we get from our users.

Our organization currently has multiple voicemail greetings prepared for our reception desk, one for each holiday. This way we don't have to record a new voicemail greeting whenever we have a snow day or are out on holiday.
