We are introducing a new calling feature. With private line, users will be able to have a private second phone number that they can make available to a select set of callers to call them directly, bypassing delegates, admins, or assistants. Inbound calls to the private line will be distinguished by a unique notification and ringtone. The private line will support incoming calls only.

[When this will happen]:
Standard Release and GCC: We will begin rolling out early December and expect to complete by mid-December.
GCCH and DoD: We will begin rolling out in early January and expect to complete by early February.
[How this will affect your organization:]
You will have the ability to designate a phone number as a private line for users to take private line calls.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
Nothing you need to do to prepare. Once the feature has rolled out, you will be able to set up private line for users.
