How to identify call history entries in the desktop client, mobile app, or Zoom Web App

Caller ID

·       If the number has a caller ID name, Zoom Phone displays the name above the number.

·       If the number belongs to an internal contact, the Zoom Phone contact's name is set in their Zoom profile instead of their caller ID name. Zoom Phone also displays the contact's extension number.

·       If the number belongs to a synced contact, Zoom Phone displays the synced contact's name as set in the third-party service instead of their caller ID name.

Note: Synced contacts are currently not supported on Linux, Zoom Web App, Android, and iOS. If you're using the Zoom mobile app and enabled phone contacts matching, the name in your phone's default contacts app will display instead of the caller's caller ID name.

Icons and labels

·       Answered incoming calls are displayed in black text. Missed incoming calls are displayed in red text.

·       Outgoing calls have the following icon beside the number:

·       Calls that were recorded display Recording below the phone number.

·       Calls routed through a call queue will display Missed for followed by the call queue name.

·       The entry will display anonymous for calls that do not have a caller ID (the caller hid their caller ID name and number).
