Show Caller ID of original caller when transferring calls?

[tkearney336]

When we transfer calls the Caller ID of the person transferring shows instead of who is actually calling?  How do we change this?

hi tkearney336,

using zoom windows client version 6.1.0 receiving the call and transferring the call to a poly vvx 450 desk phone with 6.4.6.2681 firmware, this is what happens. 

Direct Transfer.  when the person transferring the call uses zoom windows client direct transfer, the caller id of the original call is displayed. 

Warm Transfer.  if the person transferring the call uses zoom windows client warm transfer, the caller id of the person transferring the call is initialled displayed.  when the warm transfer is completed, the original caller id is displayed.

please explain what zoom client, app or deskphones you are using.

here are two zoom support articles that may be helpful.

We are having this same issue. We want calls transferred to show the name of the original caller instead of the person transferring the call. We are using Yealink T46U desktop phones for this. A call transferred from the desktop phone will show "[Name of person transferring] Calling For [Name of queue]".
