Hello,

 

I have a zoom phone number and I am hiring an admin in South Africa.  I am based in the U.S.  I want the admin to be able to make calls from South Africa but to numbers in the U.S.  Is this possible?  I would ideally like her to log in and use my current zoom number.

 

Thanks.

setting Zoom as default calling app (iOS 18.2)

It's nice to see zoom become the first third party app to support this new feature on iOS however even after selecting it for calls, it does not seem to work. Is it not fully supported yet?

Resolved! How to get rid of 0 to talk to operator at the end of the auto receptionist?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to remove the extra bit that zoom has automatically tacked onto the auto receptionist that says press 0 to talk to the operator. Even when I set 0 to a different function it still says that. For example, if I set 0 to leave a voice message it instructs the caller to press 0 to leave a voice message, but then it also follows that up by instructing the caller to press 0 to talk to an operator. I see other posts on here telling people how to set an operator, but that's not what I want to do. I just want to remove this instruction. Thanks

Resolved! Can't tell what number is calling

I bought a Zoom line to keep my personal cell phone and business number separate. I've been able to set up the phone so that it rings and I can make calls out. However, when anyone calls my business line, my cell just rings like normal. I can't tell if it's a call for my business or if it's a call to my cell. It shows the caller ID, but that doesn't differentiate between personal and business.

I'd like to know if it's a business call so that I can answer like, "Thanks for calling ABC Business."

Is there a whisper message feature or some way to mark which calls are coming from my business line?

Zoom phone - Call Screening is screening personal contacts

I have Call Screening enabled along with the option to "Exclude my contacts from call screening, calls from contacts will reach you as normal."

 

call screening.png

I added two numbers to my Personal Contact list, my own cell (for testing) and my wife's. Both numbers are still challenged by the call screening prompt when calling my Zoom number. I confirmed that the numbers appear in "Personal Contacts" on both the zoom.us website and in my Zoom Workplace desktop app.

 

To determine if setting changes had an activation lag, I temporarily disabled Call Screening and confirmed that the setting change was immediately effective on my line. Reenabling Call Screening was also immediate, however the numbers in my personal contacts are still screened.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

 

Thanks!

For Zoom Phone system, how do you turn off the call queue automatically when the user is out of office?

 

Let's say we are using a call queue Monday - FRI with 9AM ~ 5PM. 

If a user is taking a day off on Friday, I see that we can set or automatically set "Out of Office" status in the Zoom Workplace app. But this does not stop them from receiving the call queue. 

According to this documentation here, it looks like we can turn on "Allow queue members to set their Business Hours," which will "allow" a member who is off on Friday to be not be in the queue. 


This is not the case. After testing, even with "Allow queue members..." enabled, it still behaves the same way despite having "Out of office" status automatically set by Google Calendar. 

 

Is the expectation that users need to manually turn off the call queue?

Resolved! Zoom Phone Call Queue - Automatic Removal on OOO/PTO Not Functioning

Problem:

We utilize a Zoom Phone call queue for our team, with availability set from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. We've encountered an issue where users remain in the call queue rotation even when they are marked as "Out of Office" (OOO) or on Paid Time Off (PTO).

Specifically:

  • Users set OOO or PTO in Google Calendar, which syncs with Zoom, correctly updating their Zoom status.
  • However, these users continue to receive call queue calls.
  • The Zoom documentation states that enabling "Allow queue members to set their own Business Hours" should prevent calls from routing to members outside their business hours.
  • This feature is not functioning as described. Despite enabling it, users still receive calls while on OOO/PTO.
  • Currently, the only solution is for users to manually remove themselves from the call queue.

Question:

Has anyone experienced this issue with Zoom Phone call queues? Is there a reliable method to automatically remove users from the call queue rotation when they are marked as OOO or on PTO, as the documentation suggests?

One of the departments that I support is moving off of the zoom phone system to the one that I administer for our company. Is there a way for me to forward the 4 the auto receptionist to an external DID?

 

I need to do this prior to porting the number out so they have no interruption.

 

Thank you.
