Resolved! Zoom Phone trial is over, now how do I delete test imported contacts?

We are in the process of switching from Teams Voice to Zoom Phones and during the trial period, I imported 9 contacts to test the importing process.  We will be linking our Office365 contacts when we go live but now I can't seem to get rid of these 9 contacts.  I am also an admin for the Zoom account but I cannot find if there is an admin permission that I need to check in order to remove these contacts.  Any help page I find on Zoom points me to the Contact Management section in my web portal but I don't even have that option, I can only see Personal Contacts.  Any help would be appreciated!

Changing the Default Line Key Label

Resolved! Live broadcasting in iPhone

Hello guys,

Yesterday I entered zoom with my iPhone, and when I shared my screen to others, it asked if I want to do a Live Broadcasting. I did start broadcasting, as it wouldn't let me share my iPhone's screen without doing so, but when I did it showed me the color red around the clock on the top left side of iPhone (the color that shows whenever we do a screen recording). I wanted to ask if that means that the zoom recorded my screen sharing or it's just a color to remind me I'm screen sharing ? (and that it is NOT recording anything ?)

 

I need to know this please.

Thank you 🙂

Hi,

Recently i noticed zoom text messaging history does not show up, i can see maximum one or 2 days history, earlier i was able to see it for as long back as i wanted to, strangely i can see the history on my phone but on my computer i see limited text message history, i am referring to the zoom phone texting/sms, not the chat messages for zoom.

Any ideas why this is happening ? I dont see any setting for text message history

If a person wanted to call someone from within the contacts section of their Outlook desktop application, is there a way to do it?  It automatically wants to use Teams Voice but how do I get it to choose Zoom?  It seems that the only option for the Outlook Desktop Zoom Plug-In is to either schedule a  meeting or start an instant meeting.

Im looking to create a mailbox for our schools athletic dept where parents can be transferred to an extension.....which will put them into voicemail.   We don't want the voicemail to be attached to a particular user.   I can't seem to figure how to do this without attaching a user and device to it?   I created a common phone but don't see how to attach voicemail to it and am not sure how a coach would call in and retrieve the messages either.  Thanks for your help

Do you have to use a Desk Phone for Common Area Phone?

Hi!

 

I am currently attempting to set up Zoom Phone for multiple users under one office. They have a circulation desk, and would like any person assigned to the desk to be able to answer. I know common area phones are used for this matter. But wanted to know if anyone has ever used this capability? And also if it's necessary to purchase a "zoom approved" desk phone or if I can set it up on a laptop like the rest of the users have for their own personal lines.

 

Any and all help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have my hours set up for the Auto Receptionist which works great.  During open hours the calls go to a call queue that rings several phones which works.  After hours go to the After hours receptionist and works great.

My question, is there a way if they leave early that we can force calls to go straight to the after hours receptionist without having to change the hours?

Hello, 

 

I've been using the same report for my call queue for almost a year. Suddenly I went in to run the report and it's completely different.  I've attached the file to show how it used to look. Now it's giving me a breakdown of each individual call which is great, but for the purposes of being consistent on the reports I submit to management, I need the old report.

Resolved! Licensing for Auto Receptionists and Call Queues.

Hello,

My company is in the process of migrating over to Zoom phone.  We purchased a batch of Unlimited Calling Plan licenses,  Toll phone number licenses (for 'parking' unused ported DID's and 2nd phone numbers for a couple of users), and some Toll-Free number licenses.  I was told by the sales team that Auto Receptionists and Call Queues were treated like named phone users, and would consume a Calling Plan license.  However now that I'm setting it all up, I do not see my Calling Plan license count decrease when setting up an AR... only the Phone number license decreases when I assign a number to the AR.  So that seems to indicate that the AR itself is free, and you just need a phone number license if you need it to be externally accessible.  Is that right?  Could I just set up 100 AR's with just internal extensions for free?

 

The main reason for asking is that on our old system we have a lot of nested IVR's, some of the stupidly complicated and deep (too much so, tbh), so I assumed I'd need to simplify them way down, to avoid paying $180 per year per AR in a multi-level IVR setup.  But now it seems that only the  top-level AR (with the phone number assigned) actually costs anything.  Am I missing something?
