  • After the message: the date and time of the message will be provided after the message.

  • Share Voicemail box: enabling this feature allows you to grant access to this voicemail box to other individuals who are associated with the Seats created under your account.

Toggling the switch causes a plus button labeled "manage seats for voicemail box" to appear.

When you click on this button, a pop-up window will appear containing two tabs labeled "Seats" and "Groups", which offer options for sharing the voicemail box. On the left-hand side of the window, there is a list of Seats that have been created under your account. On the right-hand side of the window, there is a Table of Selected Seats.

By clicking on the plus icon next to each Seat, you can add them to the Table of Selected Seats.
