Resolved! Zoom logs out when I "log in on another device"

Zoom automatically boots you off one computer when you log in to another.  This should not happen.  The UI should ASK (on both devices if necessary, only requiring the answer on one to force it to uccur) if you want to be logged out of one vs the other.  I have a desktop and two laptop computers (I travel a lot).  They all have Zoom installed. My laptops are "asleep" on my desk, and I'm working on my desktop, and all of a sudden, my desktop logs me out of Zoom.  I assume a laptop wakes up (because of antivirus or something similar)  and auto logs in, which kicks me off my desktop.  This happens while I'm actively using Zoom ( I just got kicked off a phone call on my zoom phone!) and the other computer is simply passively logging in.  this is AWFUL design and needs to be fixed.  I had this happen many times on zoom meetings, but it doesn't kick you off the actual meeting, but on phones, it literally ended my call.  this is not acceptable as a professional-grade phone system.

Breaking out of a Queue to Leave Voicemail

Is there any way to allow a caller who is waiting in a queue to break out to a designated voicemail box if they get tired of holding. 

 

Ex. we've all heard the on hold verbiage, "we're sorry, we're experiencing an extremely high call volume, if you prefer to leave a message, please press 1.  Otherwise, please continue to hold and the next available agent will be with you shortly."

 

It looks like this can potentially be fudged via a series of queues or overflowing back to the same queue, but then you get into infinite loops and broken call stats... 

 

Zoom Phone doesn't even appear to be able to play intermittent on hold messages or announce what caller they are in line or other similar things to help engage the caller.  It looks like these may be possible in Contact Center, but that is way overboard for this type of basic functionality.   How are y'all working around this?

Resolved! Phone: "Greeting & Leave Voicemail Instruction" keeps playing a DELETED audio instead of new one

I had a few possible audios recorded and they seemed to be ok. And then I tried the default. Nope. I'll use one of my own.

So I deleted the existing audios I'd done -- nothing at all showing on that screen. And then I recorded a new one. It plays back just fine there on the Settings page. And it's the ONLY recording showing on that page that shows the audios you've recorded.

But when I call the phone number, the OLD and deleted audio keeps playing. And worse, immediately after the deleted one plays, the default (and very loud) "We are sorry ..." message plays, too.

How on earth can I fix this? Thanks for any help.

Pop up not happening while phone ringing - Cannot answer incoming call

This has been happening for several weeks now.  My cell phone (while away from my desk) will vibrate to all get out -- but no pop up appears that allows me to answer the phone.  So any incoming call on my Google Pixel just rings until it goes to voicemail. 

 

I haven't tested this theory yet, because it seems implausible, but is this happening because it is not on WIFI?

I have just uninstalled it on my phone to alleviate the frustration.  If there is a fix or answer, I'll reinstall, but this isn't worth the anxiety knowing I am missing a call, but have no way to answer it.   It's mocking me, LOL.

Zoom Status/Call Status Tracking

How are folks handling call status tracking when using call queues to route call forwarding?  The company I work for has this insane idea that a call should never end up in a voicemail box, yet there is nothing setup to allow callers to wait for the next available representative.  This causes managers/leadership to get worked up whenever they call someone and the person they are calling does not pick up and others on the team are not able to pick up so they end up in a voicemail box.

 

Example: Our typical configuration is as follows for a 5 person team: all members of the team have direct dial numbers.  If person 1 is called, their phone rings first.  If person 1 is unable to answer, the call forwards to a call queue containing all 5 members of the team (including person 1).  If all 5 people are unable to answer, it will route to the original callee's voicemail box (person 1 in this example).  The same configuration is true for all 5 team members.

 

What I am looking to track is status's of the 5 person team at the time of the call coming in so I can report to the manager on why the call was routed to voicemail. Like if everyone was already on a call that would be a justifiable reason for calls going to voicemail.
