MC1326261: Get-CsCallQueue PowerShell cmdlet: statistics line removal

The Get-CsCallQueue cmdlet will no longer display the real-time call queue size starting late August 2026. The cmdlet will still provide configuration info, but real-time call waiting counts must be accessed via the Queues app. No action is required, but update related documentation accordingly.

🚨
Major Update: This post contains a significant change that may impact your organisation.

[What and Why:]

We're removing the statistics line from the Get-CsCallQueue PowerShell cmdlet output that displays the current number of calls waiting in a call queue. This change aligns call queue monitoring with enhanced real-time reporting available in the Queues app.

[Rollout Schedule:]

We will begin rolling out in late August 2026 and expect to complete by mid-September 2026.

[Impact on Your Organization:]

Who is affected: Teams Administrators who use the Get-CsCallQueue PowerShell cmdlet.

Platforms/Services: Microsoft Teams, Teams PowerShell

What will happen:

  • The statistics line showing the current queue size will be removed from the cmdlet output.
  • The cmdlet will continue to return call queue configuration information with no change to usage.
  • Administrators will no longer be able to view real-time call waiting counts using PowerShell.
  • Enhanced real-time call queue reporting is available through the Queues app.

Example of removed output:

Statistics : Current queue size = 0

[Action Required / Recommendations:]

No action is required.

If you currently rely on PowerShell to view real-time call queue size:

  • Review the Queues app for enhanced real-time call queue reporting.
  • Update internal documentation or scripts that reference the removed statistics line.
  • Inform helpdesk or operations teams of this change to avoid confusion.

[Compliance considerations:]

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
