This article explains how Zoom Phone works with Polycom phones. To find out more about these features, go to the Polycom support site and look up your phone model.

How to make a call

Making an outgoing call from the handset is as easy as following these steps:

1. Take the headset off the phone.
2. Select a line for the call if you have more than one:
   • VVX series with physical line keys:
   • Press the line key.
   • VVX series with a touch screen:
   • Tap the dropdown menu in the top left of the screen to select the line and then select the line from the list.
   • Note:
   • On the Zoom webpage, using the keys and positions settings, it is necessary to set the outgoing caller ID. The phone’s interface is not the appropriate place to set your outbound caller ID.
3. It’s possible to dial a number by using the physical dial pad or the on-screen dial pad of your phone.
4. Dial the number as follows:
   • VVX series with physical line keys:
   • Press the Send key.
   • VVX series with a touch screen:
   • On the contact screen, tap the icon of the phone.

To make a call using the speakerphone:

1. Normally the button for speakerphones is on the left-hand side of the dial pad, just behind the physical dial pad.
2. (Optional) Select one of your available lines for the call if you have multiple lines:
   • VVX series with physical line keys:
   • Press one of the line keys.
   • VVX series with a touch screen:
   • From the drop-down menu, select the line key you want.
   • Note:
   • If you would like to set the outgoing caller ID on the Zoom web portal, you can do so by using the keys and positions settings. Please do not use the phone’s interface to set your outgoing caller ID.
3. You will have to dial the number directly if it is on the screen.
4. To make the call:
   • VVX series with physical line keys:
   • Click on the Send button.
   • VVX series with a touch screen:
   • Use the touch screen to touch the icon representing the telephone.

How to search the company directory

1. Go to the home screen of your phone and press the Directory button.
2. From here you will be able to access the Corporate Directory.
3. You can search the directory of Zoom Phone users for your company by entering a name or extension number, and then clicking the Submit button.
   Note:
4. Results may not appear immediately after you submit the search.
5. Press Dial to place a call to an individual after selecting a phone number.

How to receive a call

You will receive a call notification from the application when an incoming call is received, which includes the caller ID’s name and number. Your Polycom phone will display the same notification whether the call was routed to you directly, via the company’s main number, or through a call queue you’re on.

How to place a call on hold

VVX series with physical line keys

1. You can press Hold or the hold button while you are in a call.
2. To resume the call, you can press the hold button or the resume button.

VVX series with a touch screen

1. Tap Hold while you are on a call.
2. If you want to continue the call, tap Resume.

How to transfer a call

VVX series with physical line keys

1. Press the Transfer or Transfer button when you’re on a call.
2. You can choose from the following methods:
   • Consultative transfer (also known as warm transfer):
   • While you are completing the transfer, put the call on hold. For example, you might need to navigate an automated messaging system for the caller or you might want to speak with the recipient before the call is transferred.
   • Blind transfer (default):
   • Transferring the call and hanging up.
3. Just select or dial the destination number. You can also dial an extension number within Zoom Phone.
4. Complete the transfer:
   • Blind transfer:
   • Tap on the phone icon.
   • Consultative transfer:
   • Click Transfer.

VVX series with a touch screen

1. Tap Transfer while on a call.
2. For a transfer method, click the top-right button:
   Note:
3. The default is blind transfer. When you want blind transfer, do not tap the button. Performing a warm (consultative) transfer through a press conference is highly recommended.
   • Blind transfer (default):
   • The call is immediately transferred.
   • Consultative transfer (also known as warm transfer):
   • Hold the call until the transfer is complete. The option is useful if you want to speak to the receiver before the call is transferred or if the caller has an automated answering machine. Press the Conference key. In this example, the transfer party has the option of withdrawing their acceptance of the call ahead of time, and also has the option of withdrawing their acceptance following consultation with the transfer party. The call can then be transferred to consulting mode and the person can hang up.
4. You can either select or dial the appropriate number. Dial the extension number of the internal Zoom Phone users you wish to contact.
5. Once the transfer is complete:
   • Blind transfer:
   • Touch the phone icon.
   • Consultative transfer:
   • Click Transfer.
