Please note that Zoom Phone is currently being rolled out to those currently on the BroadSoft Office Phone system. If you are currently using RingCentral or Global Relay as your primary business calling number, this section will not apply.
Zoom Phone is launching Tuesday, April 22 at 8:30-9:00AM PST for those currently on the BroadSoft phone system. At this time, your existing Polycom phone (VVX 410 and VVX 411) will no longer function. Calls will instead be received on your Zoom desktop and Zoom mobile app.
To ensure you will receive these calls, you will first want to ensure you are signed into the Zoom app:
Opening and signing into the Zoom Workplace app
Zoom Workplace will be the application used to make and receive calls, review call history, check your voicemail, and act on behalf of others if given delegate access. See links below to sign
- Zoom Workplace app on your Windows PC
- Zoom Workplace app on your mobile phone
Zoom Workplace app vs. Zoom Web Portal
It is important to understand the difference between the Zoom Workplace application and the Zoom Web Portal:
Zoom Workplace App
The Zoom Workplace app refers to the app on your computer or mobile device.The following functions are primarily performed through the Zoom Workplace App:
- Making and receiving calls
- Dial a phone number using the dialpad
- Search by name to search your contacts and the MassMutual internal directory
- Incoming calls will ring using your device's speakers and pop up on your screen
- Access your voicemail
- Manage other lines you are granted access to (e.g. a Sales Assistant can opt in to receive calls coming in to an Advisor's line once set up)
