Intercom muted with headset

Hi,

I'm an IT tech at a small firm. We are using Zoom phone with Poly CCX 600s. Our CEO used to be able to Intercom his assistant and she would receive a short notification before being able to accept the call. The assistant had a older style headset that would plug into the back of the headset RJ9 port on the Poly phone, but we got a new headset and the Intercom works differently.

The new headset is a Yealink WH64 Wireless Headset. It plugs a micro usb into the phones usb A port and works great except for the intercom function. When the CEO starts an intercom, the assistant's phone will receive no notification and will automatically answer the call. The call is also automatically muted so the assistant is not coming through at all.

Ive tried a Yealink EHS35 micro to rj9 cable and the headset does not detect the desk phone at all, no audio between them even after making sure the phone sends it to the headset.

Any advice or setting I can alter to have at least an auditory notification come through before auto accepting the intercom call.

Thanks in advance!

Resolved! Zoom Activity Center Notifications returning as unread

Hello, I have a user who has marked all notifications in the Activity Center as read (both individually as well as using the triple dots and marking all as read), but each day her notifications come back as unread. I believe that they are reappearing after each time the application is reloaded.

 

This is in the Zoom Phone System section because this only seems to be happening with Zoom phone notifications specifically, Voicemail, missed calls, etc. 

 

I don't see any real settings we can change regarding the Activity Center Notifications besides allowing specific notifications into that area. We want these notifications to appear so the user will know that they have calls to return or voicemails to listen to, but how do we prevent the activity from returning after it has been marked as read?

 

I have talked with this user and they have just updated to the latest version of the Zoom Workplace Client (6.2.3). She had marked all of the notifications as read, then updated and the notifications returned after the application restarted.

 

I appreciate any help you guys can give me! Thanks!

Hi there, one user is getting the error message, "You don't have a direct number. You cannot start a new conversation" when texting some people.  She can text some people from the desktop app, but not others.

  • We have been using Zoom phone for almost a year
  • We do have 10DLC and a campaign approved / assigned.
  • The phone numbers were ported into Zoom Phone almost a year ago.
  • We haven't made any Zoom admin changes in the Zoom dashboard.
  • We don't bulk send text messages.  Just used in communicating with our customers and vendors.
  • I've send a text message to a person that she can't and it works fine.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Call Distribution, Tiered Groups

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around a potential solution for our call distribution desires.  We have a team of CSR's that I would like to receive calls based on longest idle.  After attempting to reach those users, I would like the call to overflow to another group of users.  I believe I can accomplish this with (2) call queues.  However, if the call goes unanswered by both groups, I would like the process to start over.  If the call makes it through the cycle again, then I would like to overflow the call to an outside number for our answering service.  Any ideas on how to achieve this type of rotation? I considered a third an fourth call queue, but I didn't want to have our CSR's turning off/on two queues every day.  Thank you for reading!

Carry “on hold” audio across overflow call queue

We have a situation where I would like an “on hold” audio track to play while ringing our first call queue and that audio file seamlessly carry into the overflow to second call queue where we add additional members. Any way this could be possible? 

Resolved! Need simple answer: Metering charges for call forwarding?

I haven't found a clear answer, so, I am hoping someone can help (and that their response can help others):

 

  • I recently signed up for the Zoom US & Canada Unlimited plan for my small business.
  • I paid for one license
  • My business partner and I would like to set up the Auto Receptionist so that if someone dials our Zoom phone number, they can get routed to either my or my partner's cell phone based on which option they choose. This way, each of us can have separate extensions listed on our business cards
    • To make this more visual:
      • External caller calls Zoom phone number -> Auto receptionist responds and says "Dial 1 for Person A or Dial 2 for Person B" -> Externall caller dials 1 and call gets routed to my cell phone number (NOT the Zoom mobile app)

Question: Besides the charge from my cell provider, will Zoom also charge me (either through a single fee or metering) for that call forwarding service? If yes, what is the fee and where can I read more about it?

Call Forwarding Fee Question

On my company's plan, I have a user who very rarely uses her number and would only occasionally get inbound calls. I want to forward her phone to her cell, however when I try, I notice it says "I acknowledge that calls forwarded to the PSTN may be billed based on usage, per the terms of my calling plan". I'm not privy of which tier of plan the org has, but we have a toll free number, a decent number of users, etc.

 

I tried reaching out to customer support to get clarification on this, but the slow responses are as clear as mud. I'm just trying to find out if there's a fee for forwarding, how much is it? 

 

I get my own calls forwarded occasionally when I am not at my desk to receive them, however they don't last more than 1-2 minutes. When I set up my own call forwarding 2 years ago, I don't believe I saw this same verbiage on it. I definitely would have thought twice. 

 

TL;DR: How much is the fee for call forwarding if there is indeed a fee? 

 

Thanks in advance.

We use NetSuite's built in telephony system in combination with Zoom's click to dial functionality. 

 

We have been using zoomphonecall://{phone} without issue for years. As of today, it's no longer functioning. Nothing happens when clicking the phone number link. 

 

After going over Zoom's developer documentation, I've tried various forms of the URI scheme. Only one I could get to directly dial is "zoomphonecall://+1234567890? ", in which case it of course only dialed 1234567890. Not very helpful.

 

If anyone has any additional information, I would appreciate it.

We have most of our employees on a soft phone using the desktop app, with maybe 10 users on Deskphones. When I create a Paging group and only have softphone employees, I get "Sorry we are unable to complete your call....". When I put someone with a deskphone (VVX250) it rings to them and the message is played after pick up. So I have a few questions:

 

How do I get paging to work for those on a desktop app?

How do I get it to page out to the deskphone and not have to wait for them to answer?
