The main company number you selected when you set up your Zoom account can be viewed or changed by the account owner or admin since you are the one who chose it. If an external caller calls the main company number and dials the extension of the user, they will be able to reach the user by calling the company’s main number and their extension. Phone users can also use it as their caller ID when making calls by using it as their caller ID when using their phones.

Note: A main company number will be assigned to the main auto receptionist of the company. To put it another way, when you dial the main company number, the main auto receptionist will be contacted. Having a number that is assigned to the official receptionist of your main site is the main company number if you have multiple locations.

How to change the main company or site caller ID name

When an outbound call is made from the organization, the name of the caller is displayed on the caller ID. It is important to remember that if you have multiple sites, you need to change each site’s caller ID name individually. It is not possible for you to change the name of a specific user’s caller ID.

Note:

• In order to use the caller ID service, you need to use a phone number in the US or Canada.
• Because of the process involved in determining your outbound caller ID name, the parties receiving your call will not be able to see the new caller ID right away. The process of updating the new caller ID name for external providers can take anywhere between 3 weeks and a month.
• There can only be one main company number assigned to your organization, even if there are multiple sites in your organization. A caller ID name that will be applied to the main company number is the one that will be used for the main site.

1. The Zoom web portal can be accessed by logging in to your account.
2. You will need to click on Phone System Management in the navigation menu, then click on Company Info in the next menu.
3. To change your account settings, click on the Account Settings link.
4. Depending on whether you have more than one site, you can choose one of the following options:
   • If you enabled multiple sites:
   •  To edit a site, you will need to click its name, then click the Settings tab, and then you will be able to edit the site.
   • It is possible to disable multiple sites at the same time:
   • To access your account settings, click on the Account Settings link.
5. Click on the Change button next to the current Caller ID name in the section called Caller ID Names.

   Note:There are some restrictions that apply to the caller ID name.
