Hi there, we began using Zoom phone ~1 year ago for our small business and have never been fully satisfied. I find the set up and customization of features confusing and don't have anyone else on my team who can help me with it. I would greatly appreciate set up guidance and would be happy to pay someone for their expertise. Some context on what we do and what I'm looking for:

 

We're a specialty auto repair shop open M-F 8:30am to 5:30pm. We field many calls a day from retail customers and individuals at other businesses we work with. Calls are typically to schedule appointments or ask for updates on repair/parts/etc.

 

Our General Manager is responsible for answering calls. He has a company-owned iPhone with Zoom installed on it. If he's unavailable, the calls ring through to my account.

 

One big problem: our GM's phone no loner has a cellular plan, so if he's not on wifi he can't receive Zoom calls. He's often on the road visiting customers and needs to be able to receive calls during those visits. 

 

What I'm looking for:

1. Fix our GM's need to be on wifi. Do I need to also get a cellular plan? Is there a way to have cellular internet only so the Zoom phone is always accessible? Any other suggested solutions?

2. Have calls ring first to my GM and then to me if he doesn't answer after a certain amount of time.

3. Have voicemail box set up with a professional answering message.

4. Direct customers to voicemail via a professional automated message if it is outside of our operating hours. 

5. Anything else to make us appear more professional to callers.

 

Thank you in advance.

Trouble with Alarm Panel dialer communicating through an AudioCodes mp1288

Hello,

 

I am trying to connect a building alarm panel dialer to an AudioCodes 1288. No matter the settings I change the modem lines don't seem to synch up. I monitor the line connected to the legacy PBX and the communication seems the same. I know there is some delay which is probably causing the issue. I see modem settings in the Audio Codes, but the recommended Fax settings from Zoom seem to be interfering with them. 

 

Has anyone had any luck when attempting this before. I have also tried with a Grandstream ATA with no luck. 

 

Thanks,

Derek

Route calls to an Intercom

Is there a way in Zoom Phone to route calls automatically by caller phone number to go directly to an intercom? This would be useful for when our vendors call us.

Hello - I bought the basic unlimited phone service, 1 line. I put in a request for a port of my existing phone number but failed to ask for a temporary number until the port is complete. Is there any way to get a temporary number added without having to purchase a second line while the port is happening?  Thank you.

  • Product Area: Zoom Meetings / Zoom App Experience

  • Feature Title: Native In-App Confirmation Capture


Description

Currently, users who need to capture a visual confirmation (such as a meeting schedule confirmation, registration success, or similar in-Zoom-web messages) must use an external tool like the Snipping Tool or screenshot utility to capture the necessary information from the Zoom website.

This process is disruptive and inefficient, particularly for frequent users who are already operating within the desktop application.

Proposed Solution

We request the addition of a native feature within the Zoom desktop application that allows users to easily capture, copy, or save visual confirmations without needing to navigate to the Zoom website or use an external screenshot tool.

This could take the form of:

  1. A dedicated "Copy Confirmation" button on key confirmation pages/dialogs within the app.

  2. A built-in screenshot utility specific to the confirmation window, which automatically saves the image to a designated folder or copies it to the clipboard.

    User Benefit

Implementing this feature would significantly improve the workflow convenience and efficiency for users, allowing them to remain within the Zoom application ecosystem when capturing necessary documentation, thereby eliminating the extra steps of switching to a browser and using a third-party snipping tool.

If you get a sales rep that cares, good for you, but mines was horrible. His name was JL and he would not help with setup. He would just direct us to other people, so I dont know why he was hired. Then to setup, the process takes long and you have to keep chatting with others to get your phone system up and running. Then the biggest headache is setting up the SMS text messaging. It took numerous times to get it approved and you have to argue with customer service to help you with what is wrong with the SMS registration. After I got it done, which took two months by the way, they proceed to tell me that I must purchase another license and my team could not all text from the same phone number which is our main number for the office. At this point I am done with Zoom. I ended the subscription and you have to contact yet again customer service for this. Numerous agents have stated my account will end by this day and now they are saying it is on a soft pause and that I need to wait till it goes back to basic to terminate. I requested termination a month ago by the way. I had to call customer service because the guy John I was virtually talking to started yelling at me via text with all his exclamation points. It has been an exhausting experience and one I hope will. help someone else with not turning to ZOOM for their phone services. I hated the customer service and everybody is rude. Complete waste of time and energy when it is supposed to be an easy experience.

Was wondering if anyone can help me solve this issue
On all Outbound calls the voice prompt "Call may be monitored for Quality Assurance" comes on. We as a company do not have call recording enabled, so I do not understand why this prompt plays. I have ensured that the Prompt "play a disclaimer prompt to call participants" has not been selected for any of our monitoring participants. Is there something I am missing? Thank you!
