LiveVox Voicemail 2.0 features two types of voicemail boxes - an agent's personal voicemail and a group voicemail. While group voicemail can be accessed by many agents, the agent's personal voicemail is specific only to that agent. With Voicemail 2.0, agents can view, play, and download voicemail messages directly from the agent desktop. Administrative users can configure unavailable messages through the call flow editor and check group voicemails through the Voicemail Recording Report, which is available on the LiveVox Portal.
