Send Google Voice calls to voicemail

When you're not working or you're away from the office, you can send Voice calls directly to voicemail. Voice respects the working hours and out-of-office schedule that you set in Google Calendar.

Before you begin

In Calendar, set your working hours and availability.

1. On your computer, go to voice.google.com.
2. At the top right, click Settings .
3. On the left, click Do not disturb.
4. Turn on the Calendar setting that you want:
   • Follow working hours – Sends calls to voicemail when Calendar shows you're not working.
     If this option is inactive, you'll need to set your working hours in Calendar.
   • Follow out of office – Sends calls to voicemail when Calendar shows you're away from work.

You can send all calls to your Voice number directly to voicemail. Turn this setting on or off at any time.

Tip: This setting won't forward texts sent to your Voice number.
