Hello, and thank you for any suggestions offered. 

I am trying to save SMS contacts but it does not seam to let me save them, it will not let me save them as an Outlook contact either, which I assume ads to an external outlook account. My Zoom account is connected to my Microsoft Exchange Server.

 

I am also wondering if we can set up a group text including numbers outside of our network (not zoom chat), once the contacts have been created?

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Josh

Inaccurate Queue call distribution

When queue call distribution is set to Longest Idle, the logic appears to interpret an outbound call as "idle" or "longest idle" and sends the next inbound call to that agent despite others being idle for a longer period of time. Additionally, the sy... Show more

When queue call distribution is set to Longest Idle, the logic appears to interpret an outbound call as "idle" or "longest idle" and sends the next inbound call to that agent despite others being idle for a longer period of time.

 

Additionally, the system considers an agent as "longest idle" when their status changes from "Opt-out" to "Available."

 

Perhaps the system assigns 'disconnecting from an outbound call' as moving from "Opt-out" to "Available." That would explain the behavior.

 

Regardless of the cause, this results in uneven call distribution and makes it more difficult for agents to complete documentation of the first call before another call rings to them. I've increased our "Wrap-up Time" to help with the latter, but it still causes problems with workflow.  In general, we prioritize availability over documentation when all agents are busy, so I can't simply extend Wrap-Up time to the maximum.

 

The only workaround I have found is for agents to hit "Skip" so that the call goes to others, but agents don't know whether others are available when they make that choice.

 

Are there any other settings which might alter this bug? Other workarounds? Is there somewhere I should submit this for consideration by developers?

 

Thanks in advance!

I use Zoom for the softphone for work.  I also use hearing aids.  

 

Since my audio device is a hearing aid and not a headset, for the android zoom app to use my hearing aids as the audio out I have been needing to Enable ConnectionServices. (More>General>Enable ConnectionServices) because for some reason the app does not just use the default system settings.  in the latest update this option is no longer there.

 

I have searched all around the app for this setting to see if it has been moved but it is not anyplace I can see.   I really do need this option to function.

 

Thanks!

Incoming Calls showing up as anonymous

Hello! 

 

We are having a weird issue where when people call our zoom lines, they are showing as anonymous. Is there somewhere I can check to see why these people are showing up as anonymous?

 

They are not blocked.
