Question

Zoom App is silent when iPhone is locked

Hi all - we have the Zoom mobile app installed on an iPhone. When the iPhone is locked, either by the user locking it or by the iPhone timing out to the lock screen, incoming calls to the Zoom app are silent. Personal calls to the iPhone still ring when it's locked, just not Zoom. It shows a missed call, but there's no audible alert. If the phone is unlocked, the Zoom call rings. Any ideas?

    hi sparrella,

    you need to be signed into zoom phone in order for it to ring.  even if the iphone is locked, zoom calls will ring.

     

    you might double check to see if all the iphone permissions for zoom are enabled.

    thanks  eliot

    I want to say I just found the solution for this. It is a setting within Zoom and not iOS. Zoom considers the app/device to be Offline when the app is not open or the device is locked. Under Call Queues > Call Distribution is a checkbox 'Skip offline devices and phone numbers when ringing', make sure this is unchecked.

    Awesome. Thanks for that tip!  I was able to see the "More options" now.

    Alas, "skip offline devices" was already unchecked. I saved again, but we're seeing the same issue. thanks for trying.

    Does Zoom really not have any support that will respond to this?  I submitted a ticket yesterday, but still haven't had a reply.

    It just shows a "notification" on iphone that there was a call. No option to answer it.

    Make sure your desktop clients are updated and clear the browser cache.
