Voicemail

Logging Into Voicemail (3 options)

By default, voicemail messages are automatically sent to users email inbox as an audio file attachment. Voicemail messages are not saved on our 8×8 VOIP system. However, users can change this and other voicemail settings using the instructions below. 

  1. Dialing into Voicemail using the Calls area in Teams
    Begin by reviewing the Dialing into Voicemail User Guide on our IT Training Hub. You will find a default PIN information, and steps to create a new PIN, along with the Quick Reference Guide as shown below which includes steps to manage voicemail messages, greetings and preferences.

  2. Logging into the 8×8 Work Website
    When accessing voicemail via the web, you will need an 8×8 Password; this is separate from your Goucher password. If you don’t know your password, use the Forgot Password link to reset your password. Note: Changing the voicemail password for a ring group, the password changes for everyone in the ring group.

    • Go to Work.8×8.com and enter your username@goucher.edu, hit Continue and enter your password.
