We have a number of sales reps that all need to monitor each other. In addition, we have managers that need to monitor the reps but not be monitored. 

The issue we see is that reps cannot be members of a monitor role and a monitored role. 

 

Has anyone found an easy workaround for this or a similar scenario?

My biggest pet peeve from using Zoom is that you cannot create group names in the sms chats. With the office we create a lot of these chats but every time I need to check exactly who is on which chat. Resulting in a lot of times sending a message in the wrong chat (because it's either missing a person that you oversaw vs the chat you meant, or it has a person too many). If you can create group names, I can call it for example Team or Team + VP or Analysts, or Interns. I know a lot of people at our office would be really happy if we can create group names...

Call history no longer showing internal caller IDs, showing outbound caller ID instead.

Starting some time between May 2nd and May 5th, if a user misses an internal call from someone else in our company and they look in the call history, it'll now display the outbound caller ID we set up for each user that's meant for external callers (... Show more

Starting some time between May 2nd and May 5th, if a user misses an internal call from someone else in our company and they look in the call history, it'll now display the outbound caller ID we set up for each user that's meant for external callers (this is only happening on the Zoom desktop app and the mobile app. It looks like it's affecting call logs in the admin portal as well). Prior to May 5th, the actual internal caller's name and extension would show up in the call history instead of the outbound ID we set up for each phone. I should note the outbound ID is the call queue numbers we set up for each branch (the call queue numbers are using the main phone numbers for each branch. We intended this to be used for when we're calling external phones outside of the company so that the caller ID would show up as the main company number to the external phone).

I should also note that when the notification for the incoming call pops up on the screen while a call is being received, it shows the actual caller's name and extension. It's just the ID in the call history is showing up as the outbound ID that we set up for external phones outside of the organization. I made sure to go into the admin portal, then Phone System Management -> Company Info -> [Site Name] -> Settings -> Outbound Caller ID, and made sure "Show Outbound Caller ID for Internal Calls" was disabled for all sites. All Zoom clients are up to date as well.

We haven't made any changes to the admin settings, so we're not sure what's going on.

Voicemails aren't showing up on PC

At my job we use zoom phones as our main phone system. The other two women I work with receive voicemails with no issue but for some reason they will NEVER show up on mine. I am on a PC and everything is fully updated. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if SMS for Zoom Phone Australia is unlimited texting or know the rate per text for AUS to AUS texting? Support keeps directing me to the international PBX rate page, but these are US to international I am pretty sure. This is a really good article https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0057987 on setting it up and limitations, but doesn't cover costs, if any, for Australia SMS. Any help would be appreciated!

Zoom Phone Text Transcription of Automatic Calls

We've have difficulty pulling the text transcriptions from Automatic phone call recordings. I've referred to this previous forum (https://community.zoom.com/t5/Phone-System/Zoom-phone-audio-transcripts-text-file/m-p/100072#M4914) and we've tried to a... Show more

We've have difficulty pulling the text transcriptions from Automatic phone call recordings. 

 

I've referred to this previous forum (https://community.zoom.com/t5/Phone-System/Zoom-phone-audio-transcripts-text-file/m-p/100072#M4914) and we've tried to access it through the API, but still only pulling the audio transcriptions.

 

Under our call logs, it shows that 'Admin has disabled this transcription' for our automatic calls but we've enabled every setting accessible to us to allow for text transcriptions. Is there a security setting we're missing?

 

Appreciate any guidance here.

Hi everyone,

I'm exploring whether it's possible to integrate Zoom SMS functionality via API with Okta to send multi-factor authentication (MFA) passcodes through Zoom Phone SMS.

So far, I haven't been able to find any official Zoom documentation covering this use case. I’m particularly interested in:

  • Whether anyone has successfully set this up using Zoom’s API (e.g., sending outbound SMS triggered by Okta)

  • Any necessary API scopes, endpoints, or prerequisites from Zoom's side

  • Limitations or known challenges you've run into (e.g., throttling, SMS deliverability, carrier issues)

  • Whether Zoom Phone numbers can reliably receive inbound responses for verification flows (if applicable)

Would love to hear from anyone who has attempted this or knows whether Zoom SMS is viable for Okta MFA workflows.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or examples!

I reached out to support but the confirmed this is not possible currently. We answer phones on a physical phone, but to help assist the staff answering the phone we were hoping the use the call summary and live transcription features in the app. It is not currently possible if the app is paired to the phone and the phone answers to the call to get those features.

Auto Mark SMS Messages from a Particular Number as Read

I receive a two-factor code to my Zoom phone SMS for a certain system I access almost daily. The desktop preview notification on Windows via the Workplace app is perfect to see the code and enter it to the system. However, I wish I didn't have to click over to the phone tab, then SMS, then the message thread to clear the red bubble notification. Wondering if there's a way in Zoom or with a third-party integration to still receive the desktop notifications but automatically mark the message as read to avoid having to manually clear the message indicator notification.
