Management of the main company number and caller ID in the Zoom app

The main company number you selected when setting up your Zoom account can be viewed or changed by the account owner or admin since you are the one who selected it. If an outside caller calls the company’s main number and dials the user’s extension, they can 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: The company’s central auto-receptionist is assigned a main company number. In other words, if you dial the main company number, the main car reception will be contacted. Having a number assigned to your main location’s official receptionist is the main company number if you have multiple locations.

How to change the main company or website caller id name

When an outbound call is made from the organization, the caller’s name appears in the caller ID. Remember that if you have multiple sites, you must change the caller ID name of each site individually. You cannot change the caller ID name of a specific user.

Note:

• To use the caller ID service, you must use a phone number in the United States or Canada.
• Due to the process involved in discovering your outgoing caller ID name, the parties receiving your call will not be able to see the new caller ID immediately. It can take anywhere from 3 weeks to a month to update the new external provider caller ID name.
• Only one main company number can be assigned to your organization, even if your organization has multiple locations. A caller ID name applied to the main company number is the one used for the main website.

1. You can access the Zoom web portal by logging into your account.
2. You need to click Phone System Management in the navigation menu and then Company Information in the next menu.
3. To change your account settings, click the Account Settings link.
4. Depending on whether you have more than one location, you can choose one of the following options:
   • If you have multiple sites enabled:
   • To edit a site you need to click on its name and then click on the Settings tab and then you can edit the site.
   • It is possible to deactivate several websites at the same time:
   • To access your account settings, click the Account Settings link.
5. Click the Change button next to the current Caller ID name in the Caller ID Names section.
6. Click Save after entering a new name for your caller ID.
   Note: Some restrictions apply to the caller ID name.
