Call handling audio greetings
Note: Zoom will play a tone as soon as the voicemail greeting has finished so that the recording of the voicemail can begin. In addition, it is not common for an audio prompt to be played after a tone to state “leave a voicemail”. In your voicemail greeting, you have the option of stating these instructions if you wish.

Greeting & Leave voicemail instruction: Before your voicemail is routed to your inbox, a recording plays. It is also important to include instructions about how to leave a voicemail in this greeting. |
|
Greeting & Menu: The caller is given the option of connecting with an operator and/or leaving a voicemail before the option to speak with the operator plays. IVR menus should be explained in this greeting in order to allow the call handler to better understand the menu.
You will be able to see one of these labels depending on which options you have enabled for this option:
Leave voicemail instruction: In this example, the caller presses 1 to leave a voicemail after the initial voicemail greeting and the caller hears this message. There should be an instruction in this greeting as to how to leave a voicemail. |
| Play a message, then disconnect

Message Greeting: It plays a custom message for the caller, and then hangs up the phone after it has finished playing. |
