Zoom Phone Caller ID

Zoom phone allows you to set your Caller ID to display either your direct number or a generic work number. Caller ID consists of 2 parts, caller ID number and caller ID name.

How is your Caller ID displayed when you make a call?

The default outbound caller ID that is displayed when you make:

  • Internal U-M calls — your Name and Zoom phone extension. This cannot be changed whether you set your caller ID to be your direct number or Campus Generic number.
  • External calls — Campus Generic Caller ID (Name: UNIV OF MICH).

 Note: The caller ID can vary based on the carrier(s) through which the call is passed, e.g., AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.

How to Set Your Caller ID

You can set your Caller ID in the Zoom Desktop app or the Web portal to display the following options:

  1. Your direct number
  2. Campus generic work number
  3. Hide Caller ID (This should not be used because it does not function as a user would expect)
  4. A delegator number (if applicable)

 

 

NOTE: The caller ID you set in the Zoom web portal is permanent, and it will update your caller ID in the Zoom desktop client and mobile app. However, setting it in the desktop client or mobile app is temporary: Caller ID returns to match the original settings in the Zoom web portal when you sign out.
