Viewing the Zoom Phone quality of service dashboard
In the quality of service dashboard, you can see how voice calls are performing across all extensions (phone users, common area phones, call queues, auto receptionists, or Zoom Rooms).
MOS is the main indicator of voice quality used in the dashboard. Based on a 1 to 5 scale, MOS measures voice quality. An unacceptable voice quality score is 1 for all users. The best voice quality is 5; this is equivalent to speaking directly into a person’s ear.
The dashboard categorizes calls based on MOS 3.5. High MOS indicates good quality, while low MOS indicates poor quality.

- There is a line graph that shows the change in percentage throughout the selected time period in the percentage of calls that are of good and bad quality. Whenever there is a volume of calls during the selected period, the graph will display a circle. Otherwise, the chart will display a line indicating 100% call quality when there is no call volume during the selected period.
- As you can see from the bar graph, it shows the number of calls that were good or bad in the selected time period per hour.
Call quality by device, codec, ISP and network

- If you click on the down arrow to the right of Device (All), you can choose IP Phone, Native Application, or Virtual Desktop.
- In the inner layer of the structure, each category is further broken down into subcategories. This outer layer of the chart shows the percentage of good quality calls (blue) and bad quality calls (red) for each of the sub-categories of the chart.
