Administrators of Zoom Phone can enable other users of Zoom Phone to access their voicemail messages from other phone users for various reasons, including sharing voicemail inboxes, call queues, automatic receptionists, and shared line groups.

When using shared voicemail inboxes, it is important to keep these things in mind:

• In the Zoom desktop client, web portal, or on a provisioned desk phone, users can access shared voicemail inboxes that have been shared across multiple devices.
• All phone users who share access to the shared inboxes will be able to see the status of played/unplayed messages across all of their phones. It is important to note that if one user plays an unplayed voicemail, all other users’ phones will view it as played.
• In the event that a voicemail is deleted, it will be deleted for all other phone users who have access to that phone. If you share a voicemail inbox with someone else, this will include the person who owns the voicemail inbox that you shared with them.
• It is important to note that if you put voicemail email notifications on the phone, you will receive an email notification for each phone user with access to the shared voicemail inbox when they listen to voicemails.
• The Zoom Phone policy settings allow you to control whether voicemail is enabled or disabled for phone users.
• In addition, you can also use role management to give access to the voicemail inboxes of call queues and auto receptionists by using role management.
• There is also the option for administrators to restrict access to a phone user’s own voicemail messages.

In addition, administrators can view the voicemails of an auto receptionist, call queue, or shared line group from a web browser.

Prerequisites for sharing voicemail inbox access

• There are three types of accounts available: Pro, Business, and Education
• License for Zoom Phone is required
• It is necessary for the account owner or admin to have the privilege of sharing the voicemail inbox for call queues, auto receptionists, or other users of the phone system
• There is an option to enable personal voicemail and videomail policy settings

Note:

If you want to allow users to be notified via email when they receive access to a voicemail inbox for the first time, then you need to enable the Shared voicemail notification by email policy setting.

Levels of access

• Access: Users of the phone are able to play voicemail messages on their phones.
