To customize the audio of some Zoom Phone prompts and greetings, you can use the Zoom Phone audio library. Most of these are played before calling someone back.
Note:
Changing your policy settings for your personal audio library will allow you to restrict access to these settings for users on your phone. There are a number of options by default, including changing the language of the Audio Prompt, Voicemail Greeting, Message Greeting, and the Hold Music of the phone. Audio When Connecting can only be changed at the level of a site (if multiple sites have been activated) or at the level of an account.

Notes:
- There are some extensions in the site that do not apply the default audio settings. These extensions can be found in the table below, under the Applies to column.
- Zoom plays a tone at the end of voicemail greetings to indicate that the recording of voicemails has started. There is an audio message that states “Leave a voicemail after the tone” but there is no standard audio prompt for this. As a part of your default voicemail greeting, you can optionally mention these instructions.
| Default audio setting | Applies to |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I resolve Zoom audio problems?
Troubleshooting microphone issues

- Ensure Zoom has access to your device’s microphone.

Should I turn on original sound in Zoom?
With the original sound option enabled in Zoom, you are able to use the audio directly from your microphone without being affected by Zoom’s echo cancellations or audio-enhancement algorithms that may affect the sound quality. There are some audio equipment that already come with these features built in, that can make use of this feature as well.
Where is audio settings in Zoom Mobile?

Why does Zoom mess up my audio?
Faulty microphone or speaker setup
Check your audio settings and make sure your speaker is on and your audio is not on mute mode before you start troubleshooting. Using an earphone or a different device may help you with this problem, as well as increasing the volume on your device and Zoom. Check your device permissions to make sure Zoom has access to them as well.
Why does my Zoom audio sound static?
It might help if you unplug your headset or standalone microphone and then plug it back in again after you have unplugged them from your computer or device. It is recommended that you use a different USB port if possible. If you are using a standalone microphone, you will need to move it.
Why is my audio garbled on Zoom?
There is a possibility that you have microphone playback enabled if you hear some garbled audio coming from your speakers. There is no default option to enable this on Mac OS X. It is not a part of the operating system by default. You will, however, have to shut this option down if you are using Windows in order to prevent any feedback from happening
