This document describes the procedure for configuring the Visual Voicemail feature on Cisco Jabber.

Visual Voicemail 

Cisco Jabber supports visual voice messaging similar to any Cisco Unified IP Phones.  Jabber windows client can leverage the visual voicemail as shown in below configuration.

• You can see, choose & play voicemail messages in any order of your choice
• Visible message count
• Notification of incoming voice messages
• User can listen to voicemails from within jabber - No mobile call required
• Call back option to the person who left the voice mail

Make sure to complete the voicemail integration with CUCM

You can access messages from Jabber without either of these enabled in the class of service.

- Allow Users to Access Voice Mail Using an IMAP Client and/or Single Inbox  checked and the radio button  Allow - IMAP Users to Access Message Bodies  selected. 

Selecting these two options is a mistake in the documentation for this integration.  I raised this to the BU last year and if the docs are still incorrect, maybe you can see that they are corrected as a Cisco employee.

It would be preferential to require a specific class of service parameter for the VMRest integration, however.

Good Document.. Thanks for sharing..

But I think under Voicemail profile section of Service Profile configuration.. we need to choose Unified CM-IM and Presence against Credentials source for voicemail service drop box.

Pls confirm.

Thanks for steps and screenshot, already setup and everything works fine but whenever I closed the Jabber/disconnect from the Jabber then Visual VM doesn't load automatically and all other tabs were loaded.

Only option is to signout and signin then it displays the message otherwise visual VM tab shows contact administrator. Can you please assist on this ? 

Is updating Jabber-config.xml with CUC details instead of service profile resolve this issue ? 

Jabber Version - 12.5.0

CUCM - 10.6

CUC - 12.5
