overview
When you receive an incoming call with the Zoom desktop client or the Zoom mobile app, it displays caller information (direct number, company number, call queue, etc.) so that you can identify how the caller was routed.
- The caller ID is displayed for all incoming call notifications. If you have manually set the status to reject incoming calls, you will not see incoming call notifications.
- On desktop clients, you can use keyboard shortcuts to answer or reject incoming calls.
- To change the ringtone, change the ringtone options in the desktop client or mobile app settings.
Desktop client and mobile app
Note: The screenshots in this article were taken from the Zoom desktop client screen. The information displayed on all platforms is the same, but the design (layout) is slightly different.
Direct number
When the caller dials the direct number, the caller ID (inside the red frame) is displayed in the incoming call notification, followed by the direct number dialed by the caller.
Automatic reception or IVR
If the caller goes through automatic reception or IVR, the caller ID of the caller is displayed in the incoming call notification. In addition, the start of the bottom of the data shows the name and extension number of the auto-attendant.
Call queue
If the caller dials directly to the call queue that you are in, the incoming call notification will show the target followed by the call queue name. Click Skip to dismiss the notification. The call queue accesses other members of the call queue based on the call distribution method set by the administrator.
Note:
- If you have disabled calls from the call queue in the phone settings of the web portal or desktop client / mobile app, you may not receive notifications from the call queue. You can disable incoming calls from all call queues or specific call queues.
- If you belong to the call queue of your company’s emergency response team, the incoming call notification indicates an emergency call.
- The administrator can change the settings for when to receive incoming call notifications on the call queue. Please contact your administrator for more information.
Call queue during a call
If you are currently in a call, you may or may not see an incoming call notification from the call queue. This behavior depends on the administrator’s settings. Contact your administrator for more information. If you see an incoming call notification, you have the following options:
- Disconnect and answer: End the current call and answer the call.
- Skip: Turn off the notification. The call queue accesses other members of the call queue based on the call distribution method set by the administrator.
- Hold and answer: Puts the current call on hold and answers the call.
Internal contact
If the caller is another Zoom Phone user in the same organization, the incoming call notification will display the caller’s Zoom profile name / photo and extension number.
Calls transferred internally
When a call is transferred by warm transfer, the Zoom profile name and extension number of the user (transfer source) who transferred the call are displayed in the red frame. In the blue frame, the information of the number entered as the transfer destination by the user who performed the transfer operation is displayed.
In the case of blind transfer, the caller’s number is displayed in the red frame. In the blue frame, the information of the number entered as the transfer destination by the user (transfer source) who performed the transfer operation is displayed.
Synced contacts

Note: Contact sync is not supported on Linux, Android and iOS. If you are using the Zoom mobile app and have phone contact matching enabled, the name registered in the device’s default contacts app will be displayed instead of the caller’s caller ID name.
