Imagine you're in a meeting room discussing an important case, and someone quietly slips a note under the door to let you know there's another client waiting to speak with you. The note doesn't interrupt your current meeting, but it gives you a heads-up about the next one. This is similar to the new Call Waiting Beep feature in Microsoft Teams.

When you're on a call using Teams on your desktop, and another call comes in, the Call Waiting Beep acts like that discreet note. It's a gentle sound that lets you know there's another call waiting for your attention. This way, you can decide whether to continue with your current conversation or address the new call without any loud interruptions.

This feature is available across various platforms, including Android, iOS, Mac, and the web, making it versatile for different users. It's like having the same note-passing system in all your meeting rooms, no matter where they are. The feature is being rolled out to all users, ensuring that everyone can benefit from this subtle yet effective notification method.
