Make a call

Note: If you call an emergency phone number, Zoom Phone will make the call using your phone's carrier instead of the Zoom app.

  1. Sign in to the Zoom app.
  2. Tap Phone.
  3. Call a number using one of these methods:
    Note: You can view your phone contacts in Zoom Phone if you want to make calls to people in your phone's contacts app.

     
    • Dial a number using the on-screen number pad, then tap the phone icon. If you dial a vanity phone number (i.e. the number contains characters), Zoom Phone will automatically convert the letters to numbers when you make the call.
    • Copy and paste a number in the text field, then tap the phone icon.
    • You can also tap the contacts icon to search your internal, external, and phone contacts. Tap on a contact to call them. If the contact has several phone numbers, the Zoom mobile app will display a list of numbers. Tap a number to call it.
    • Note: If calling an international number, make sure that Zoom Phone supports outbound dialing to that number.
  4. If you have a direct number and main company number, click the Caller ID drop-down menu to change the outbound caller ID number. You can also choose to hide your caller ID.
    Note:
    • The text you see above the number is not the caller ID name that is displayed to the receiving party.
    • You won't see the Caller ID drop-down menu if you don't have any direct phone numbers or your organization only has a single company number.
    • While in a call, your in-call status is synced to any desk phones assigned to you.
  5. Tap the phone icon to place the call.
  6. Use the in-call controls.
