Zoom Phone on the Web Portal

After completing the initial setup process, users can access most of their Zoom Phone settings and features from the Phone tab on the web portal. By default, clicking the Phone tab will open the Settings screen; however, users can also switch to the History, Voicemail, and Recording tabs, which are also available within the Zoom Workplace app.

Call handling settings determine how calls are routed or handled, and can be specified to operate differently during a user's defined business, closed, or holiday hours.

Call Delegation

Call delegation (also known as shared line appearance) provides an easy way for phone users to assign others to handle calls on their behalf. This is commonly utilized when an executive assigns calling privileges to an assistant, allowing the assistant to make, answer, or hand off calls on the executive's behalf; however, this feature can apply to other scenarios where line sharing is beneficial as well.

Refer to Zoom's support center for more information on setting up call delegation.

Membership

The Membership subsection of a user's settings screen displays the user's association with the following features:

  • Call Queues

  • Shared Line Groups

  • Group Call Pickup

  • Agents They Can Monitor

  • Agents That Can Monitor Them

Users can additionally opt in or opt out of receiving calls from their associated Call Queues and Shared Line Groups from this page, as well as from the Zoom Workplace app; however, these opt-in/out privileges do not affect the user's membership status for those groups.

Intercom

For accounts utilizing the Intercom feature, users have the option to assign a common area phone or another Zoom Phone user for sending or receiving audio intercom calls. Additionally, users must utilize this section to allocate a line key on their desk phone specifically for the intercom feature.

Refer to Zoom's support center for more information on setting up and using audio intercom.

Desk Phone

From the Desk Phone subsection, users can configure the following settings for a provisioned and associated IP desk phone:

Web Portal Call History

From the History tab, users can access their personal call history, including the ability to filter their calls by date, name, extension, phone number, missed calls, or calls with a special designation, like if it was marked as spam or blocked due to certain conditions. Users can also use this screen to export their call history into a CSV file, block numbers from calling them, or add a client code for tracking.

Example of the History tab in Zoom Phone settings on the Web Portal.
